how to make Patty Melt Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (110°F–115°F)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 medium yellow onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup (113 g) mild cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ⅔ cup (155 g) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)

Directions

  1. Focaccia Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add olive oil, minced garlic, and kosher salt. Stir in flour gradually until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  2. Patty Melt Toppings: While the dough is rising, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. In another pan, brown the ground beef, stirring in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until fully browned and crumbly.

  3. Patty Melt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, black pepper, parsley, and minced garlic. Set aside.

  4. Assembly: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the focaccia dough on a floured surface to fit your pizza pan. Spread the patty melt sauce over the dough. Layer the ground beef, caramelized onions, and both cheeses on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
