Cone pizza

Pizzas today are the most globally recognized food all over the world. They have replaced traditional dishes in parties and they are eaten and enjoyed by everyone all through the year irrespective of the seasons. They are every youngsters first choice  and their toppings variations are infinite.

But guess what, they have evolved. Their shapes and toppings are no more the classic types. And I almost screamed with surprise when I saw unique shaped pizzas being sold. They are no more flat breads pizzas only. Taco pizzas, pizza waffles, double crusted pizzas cone pizzas, pizza wedges, pizza cakes , pizza bombs, pizza desserts, pizza sticks are just to name a few.

On a recent visit to a mall, we chanced upon an outlet selling cone pizzas and did not hesitate to try them. The next day, I was surfing the internet to make them at home. And the outcome was heavenly.

Now you can also surprise your family with these unique shaped pizzas and take your family nights to unique levels with these fun ways of making pizzas.




INGREDIENTS:

I pack pizza crust sheets (readymade)
24  frozen cooked mini meatballs, thawed, cut in half                        
1  jar  pizza sauce                        
1 package pepperoni slices/1 pack sausages                      
3/4 cup finely chopped yellow or green bell pepper 
3/4  cup shredded mozarella cheese
A handful of sliced black olives

HOW TO MAKE:

1) Make your own foil cone shapes: Cut 12 (9-inch) circles nonstick foil. For each: Fold foil circle in half. Roll foil starting at one side, until bottom open end of foil is 3 inches across.

2) Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 400°F. Wrap 12 paper cone cups with nonstick foil.

3)  Unroll dough on work surface. Using rolling pin, roll dough to 20x15-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 (5-inch) squares. Wrap 1 dough square around each cup; press to seal edges. Trim any excess dough at bottom of each cup. 

4)  Place on large cookie sheet, open ends down. Bake on lowest oven rack 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. When cool enough to touch, remove and discard foil-covered paper cones.                        
  • 5) Place 1/2 meatball in bottom of each cone. In large bowl, mix 3/4 cup of the pizza sauce, the pepperoni, bell pepper and remaining meatball halves. Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 4 minutes or until hot. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each baked cone. Top each cone with about 1 tablespoon cheese. Serve hot with remaining pizza sauce.


     
     
    Note : I sometimes use 6" flour tortilla rounds for the cones instead of buying pizza crust sheets. You can just heat them in the oven or microwave if you don't want to heat them in oil. Then you can eat the whole thing! Wrapped in parchment.
