Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Instructions

Combine gin, sake, mint leaves, matcha, lime juice, and riboflavin powder in a cocktail shaker with ice. Note, Riboflavin can be bought at any grocery/vitamin store-- it's an everyday supplement that just happens to glow! Be careful though, as adding more than just a pinch will make your cocktail a bit bitter.

Shake your ingredients for a good minute to ensure that the mint is crushed and the flavors are infused. Pour into two highball glasses and top with club soda and a thin slice of lime.

Then, get out your black light and realize what a crazy gd nerd you are.

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt. In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cup of lukewarm tap water, the yeast and the olive oil, then pour it into flour mixture.

Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes—if you need to add another tsp of water to the mix to collect all that flour, that’s fine. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.

Then knead rested dough for 3 minutes until smooth and elastic and shapes easily into a ball of dough.

Cut into two pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a heavily floured surface or in separate bowls, cover, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature until doubled in size. You can also refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours-- just be sure to remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to its highest temperature (mine goes up to 500). Place your pan, pizza stone, or whatever you'd like to put your pizza on, in the oven to preheat for at least 30 minutes. I don't have a pizza stone, so I flip a cookie sheet and use the flat bottom surface.

Assemble all your toppings-- the more cheese the better.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. Drop the largest of the three pizza dough balls onto the parchment paper and shape into an 8-9 inch round, depending on your thickness preferences (and oven space)-- just remember, Mikey likes thick crust.

Spread the pizza sauce thinly over the dough. Next, sprinkle the majority of the cheese over the sauce. Then, add your toppings, spreading evenly with the meat as close to the top as possible-- you want it to crisp! Sprinkle with the last of your cheese, and spritz with olive oil.

Lift the parchment paper with pizza and place it onto the preheated pan from the oven-- you should hear a sizzle as the dough hits the hot surface. This means your crispy crust is already forming!

Bake for roughly 15 mins, depending on the heat of your oven-- you'll be able to tell that it's done when your cheese becomes a nice golden color and your crust starts to brown.

Instructions

As with Mikey's pizza, make sure your oven preheats on its highest setting for an hour before baking-- mine goes up to 500. Also preheat your pan, pizza stone, or whatever you'd like to put your pizza on for at least 30 minutes before baking. I don't have a pizza stone, so I flip a cookie sheet and use the flat bottom surface.

Assemble your ingredients. Start by caramelizing your onions in canola oil over low heat (about 10 minutes). Just before they become fully translucent, add shitake mushrooms-- they won't have enough time to fully soften when they bake, so it's helpful to brown them just a bit beforehand.

Next, mix your miso paste, water, sesame oil, vinegar, and chili oil until it becomes a creamy consistency.

Now it's time to assemble your Ninja Kick Pizza! Drop one of the smaller of your three dough balls onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape into an 8-inch round. Spread your miso mixture on your dough just as you would pizza sauce, leaving half an inch from the edge clear. Top with your shitakes and caramelized onions, and finally with cheese. Spritz with additional canola oil.

Lifting parchment paper carefully, place onto a preheated cookie sheet back-- you should hear a sizzle as the crust hits the hot surface. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust becomes golden brown.

Finish your pizza off with a sprinkling of sliced scallion and a healthy drizzle of siracha, depending on how much kick you can take. HiiiiiYA!

Instructions

Make sure your oven preheats on its highest setting for an hour before baking-- mine goes up to 500. Also preheat your pan, pizza stone, or whatever you'd like to put your pizza on for at least 30 minutes before baking.

Assemble your ingredients-- cheeses, chopped nuts, apple, and black pepper go on the pie before baking. To prep your balsamic drizzle, heat balsamic and honey in a small saucepan until slightly thickened and reduced.

Drop one of the two smaller balls of dough onto a piece of parchment paper and spread into a circle of roughly 8 inches in diameter. Heat your cream cheese in a microwave until softened slightly, and spread over the crust. Next, layer apple slices over your cheese and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Top with blue cheese and a sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper.

Carefully lift pizza and parchment paper and place onto your preheated baking dish-- you should hear yet another sizzle as the raw dough hits the hot surface. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with arugula and drizzle with your balsamic glaze. Salty, sweet, and tart YUM.
