My name is Tim. I have been looking for a certain recipe for years.
It has been closely guarded by Pizza Hut. They have not made or served
it for 25+ years but they will still not release the ingredients or how
to make it.
It is called "Priazza". There were three or four kinds that they made but
the one I am interested in is called "Florentine". I only know that it is
made like a pie. It has a top and a bottom crust. Two of the ingredients
are Ricotta Cheese and Chopped Spinach. If you can help, I would really
appreciate your efforts. If not, I fully understand.
Thank you!
Tim
Hi Tim,
Well, they still haven't released the priazzo recipe. They probably never
will, and it likely uses pre-mixed prepared ingredients that you couldn't
obtain, anyhow. You'll have to make do with a copycat recipe.
There are several message boards on the Internet on which people are discussing
the priazzo and are begging for recipes to make them at home. The priazzo was
a thin crust, topped with cheese, another thin crust, sauce and cheese and baked
with a pin grid (heat element) to help cook and heat the pizza. The "Florentine"
was five cheeses, regular Cheddar, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Romano, and Parmesan -
combined with ham and spinach.
See:In The 80s
The thing is, Tim, it's not so simple as knowing how the priazzo itself was made.
According to former Pizza Hut employees on the message boards, the priazzo had its
own crust recipe and it's own sauce recipe, and they had to use a device known as
a "pin grid"," heat sink", or "thermal spider" while cooking it in order to get the
center hot enough. You can buy these heat sink things, but I understand they are rather
expensive. So, you need at least 3 recipes (crust, sauce, priazzo) and the heat
sink device to do it right. These web sites have tons of discussion about the priazzo
and how it was made. There is also a rather complex copycat recipe on these sites
that someone spent a lot of time creating. It's the only copycat priazzo recipe
that I could find. A couple of people said a priazzo was just two regular thin
crusts and the regular sauce with the additional toppings and cheeses, but a former
Pizza Hut manager said no. That copycat recipe is probably the closest that you are
gonna get. Note that it also calls for a heat sink, although some posters on these
sites say a longer cooking time at a lower temperature might work. You're on your
own if you try it. I'd suggest that you read all the posts on all these sites
before proceeding. You can find a heat sink for sale at the pizza supplies websites
on the Internet.

Hey Phaed,
Would you happen to be able to find a recipe called "Bear Signs" ? They are a
form of doughnuts from early frontier days.
Thanks,
Jo
Hi Jo,
Found the one below here:

Bear Signs (Old Fashioned Donuts)
Source: Rick Chris
This is an old-fashioned cowboy recipe.
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs. beaten
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 Cups all-purpose flour
In the first bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, sugar and melted butter until well blended.
In a second bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, cinnamon and flour. Slowly add
the dry ingredients to the first bowl, stirring them together. This mix should be
stiff enough to hold a spoon upright; if not, mix in more flour. Knead together
lightly for a minute or so, then turn out onto a floured board or counter top.
Use a rolling pin, empty bottle or the heel of your hand to roll out to about one
finger-width high (1/4 inch). Cut circles out with a small glass and set aside for
about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour 1 inch of oil in a large skillet and heat to 375 degrees F. It's hot
enough when a bread cube browns in about 1 minute. Slide the circles into the frying
pan and brown one side. Turn over and brown the other. Set out to drain on a plate
covered with paper towels. Cover with powdered sugar and eat warm.

The Search Engine Registry shows that someone has searched the site for this:
I found no available recipe for trader vic's red sauce, per se, but it appears to
be a typical Chinese red sauce like these.
