Fumella Vodka Pizza

Fumella Vodka Pizza

1. Stretch pizza dough to 14” round.
2. Spread 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil evenly over crust, top with 1 tsp. garlic, 10 oz. Grande Fumella and 6 oz. vodka sauce.
3. Bake at 500°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
4. Remove pizza from oven, top with 2 tsp. grated Grande Romano and basil. Cut into slices and serve.

Vodka Sauce

1. Blend 2 oz. tomato sauce or paste and 8 to 10 oz. tomatoes using an immersion blender.
2. In a medium to large sauté pan, slightly heat 1/4 oz. olive oil.
3. Place the tomato sauce into the sauté pan and stir for about 2 minutes until simmering.
4. Carefully add 1 1/2 oz. vodka into the pan and allow the alcohol to burn off. Adding vodka to simmering tomato sauce prevents a bitter flavor from the vodka.
5. Once the alcohol has burned off, add 2 oz. heavy cream and continue stirring until the sauce becomes light pink to orange.
6. Cook the sauce down a bit, but don’t let the sauce break and separate.
7. Add salt and pepper to the sauce.
8. Let the sauce cool before adding it to a pizza before baking.
