Equipment

  • Large Pizza Pan

Ingredients

Seeded Rye Dough:

  • 1 ½ Cups Warm, Flat Beer We used half water and half Guinness this time.
  • 2 tablespoon Honey
  • 4 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Caraway Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Black Peppercorns
  • 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Rye Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Cup Olive Oil + 1 Tbsp

Sauce:

  • 1 ½ lbs Red Potatoes peeled
  • 1 lb Parsnips
  • ½ lb Carrots
  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • cup Milk
  • Salt and Pepper

Assembly:

  • ½ lb Thick Cut Corned Beef
  • 1 Small Onion Sliced
  • 1-2 Cups Chopped Fresh Cabbage or leftover boiled cabbage
  • 3+ Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese Irish if Possible!
  • Caraway seeds optional

Instructions

Seeded Rye Dough:

  • Add honey to warm beer, stir till well blended. Add yeast and stir again. Allow to sit (somewhere warm!) for 10 minutes.
  • Combine caraway seeds, mustard seeds, and peppercorns in a small, dry skillet. Heat on medium high, stirring frquently, for 2-3 minutes or so. Once mixture becomes fragrant, remove from heat.
  • Transfer spice mixture to a mortar/pestle set or spice grinder. Grind until broken up, but not *finely* so.
  • In a large mixing bowl - or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook - combine all purpose flour, rye flour, ground spices, and salt.
  • Add yeast mixture and ⅓ cup of olive oil, mix till well blended.
  • Dump dough out onto a floured surface, knead until soft and elastic, 5-10 minutes.
    Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 7 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Dough should ball easily – if it’s too wet, add a bit of flour. If it’s too dry, add a bit more water.
  • Once dough is fully kneaded, swirl 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large bowl, add dough, flip over to coat. cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for one hour.
  • After one hour, dough should have doubled in size. Punch dough down and allow to rise for another hour or so.
  • As you’re waiting for the second rise, make the sauce:

Boiled Vegetable Sauce:

  • Peel potatoes, parsnips, and carrots. Cut vegetables in pieces - potatoes should be 4-6 pieces each, carrots maybe half the size of the potato pieces, and the parsnips a little bigger than the carrot pieces.
  • Place vegetables in a large pot of salted water. Boil over medium high heat until all the vegetables are fork tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, strain out the water.
  • Mash vegetables til smooth – I like to put them in my food processor and let it rip!
  • When veggies are smooth, add sour cream, butter, and milk. Blend everything is well incorporated and smooth, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, set aside.
  • Note: This makes a bit more sauce than you may need.

Pizza Assembly:

  • Preheat oven to 400F
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add cabbage to boiling water, cook just until cabbage starts to soften. Strain, set aside.
  • I like to dump my pizza dough onto a cookie sheet that I’ve sprayed with olive oil or cooking spray, then roll in out right in the pan.
    The dough should be of a relatively even thickness throughout the pan, with a bit pushed up around the sides as an outer crust.
  • Stir your sauce. If it’s too thick to spread easily, feel free to add a little bit of milk. Spread over prepared pizza crust.
  • Scatter corned beef, onion slices, and cabbage across the pizza. Top with shredded cheese, and a scattering of caraway seeds if you’d like.
  • Bake at 400 for 30-35 minutes. Serve hot!

Notes

*You’ll want the beer warm, not hot. IPA beers work well for this, but feel free to experiment.
