Pizza Baker Swift

Kelly's Pepperoni Pizza

Brush oil on the cooking plates of the Pizza Baker Swift, then add the dough.

3/4 cup pizza dough- If dough is too sticky, place some flour, spread out, on a plate and set the dough on it. Turn the dough over to coat the other side, then place in the machine. Press evenly over the bottom of the cooking plate, using more flour on the fingertips if needed.

ADD THE FOLLOWING to the top of the crust:

2 - 3 Tablespoons Pizza Sauce- Spread to with in 1/2-1" of the edge of dough.

15 Turkey Pepperoni, Slices

1 Tablespoon Turkey Sausage Crumbles, pre-cooked.

2 - 4 Tablespoons Mushrooms, drained or fresh sliced.

2 - 4 Tablespoons Onions, chopped

1/4 - 1/2 cup Sweet Bell Pepper, slices, fresh or frozen, optional

1 Teaspoon Parmesan Cheese

1/8 Teaspoon Italian or Pizza Spice

1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

Plug in machine. Set the timer knob to 15 minutes. Close lid. When bell rings open the lid and add:

1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded. Close lid set timer for 3 minutes. Open lid, remove pizza to cutting board and slice.

This is a favorite machine of mine and makes a 9 - 10" pizza. The crust is nice and crispy and I make homemade dough, although you may be able to find it at your grocery store. Use this as a guide and add your favorite toppings.

Santa Fe Quesadilla Maker

Santa Fe Quesadilla Maker

Chicken Quesadilla

While machine is unplugged, lightly brush the top and bottom of the grill section with oil.

Lay one flour tortilla on the bottom of the grill.

Use a small scoop or spoon to place the refried beans in each of the 6 sections.

Slice the pre-grilled cooked chicken breast tender meat with a kitchen scissors.

Place the meat in a plastic bag. Add 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix. Close the bag and shake it to coat the meat. Add the seasoned meat pieces to the tortilla.

Add salsa if desired.

Add cheese.

Add the top tortilla layer.

Close lid. Try to clasp/lock the handle.

Plug in machine, set timer for 5 to 6 minutes. When lightly golden, unplug the machine. Press down on the front pad on top and unclasp the hinge. Remove tortillas from the machine. I used kitchen scissors to slice it in half or into wedges to dip in more salsa.

I used a grilled, pre-cooked chicken tender from my freezer and placed it in the microwave for 1/2 - 1 minutes to unthaw it. It only took 8 minutes starting from the frozen cooked meat for the finished Quesadilla to be ready to eat. I forgot to add shredded cheese this time. So, just use 1/2 the amount of beans to make room to add cheese. A slice of cheese would also work, just slice into wedges or squares and add before placing on the last layer of tortilla.
