Recipe
Springtime Asparagus Pizza
adapted from Food52 and deensiebat
Ingredients
| 1 12oz. | ball fresh pizza dough (can be store-bought fresh or frozen) |
| ¾ lb. | pencil thin asparagus, halved and tossed with olive oil and pinch of salt |
| 1 c. | shredded mozzarella, loosely packed |
| 4 oz. | goat cheese |
| ¼ t. | chili flakes |
| 4 | oil-packed anchovies, drained and finely chopped (optional) |
zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 500ºF for 1 hour. If using a pizza stone, pre-heat it in the oven as well. Or, if using a jelly roll pan, rub it with a thin sheen of olive oil and sprinkle it evenly with a tiny bit of cornstarch.
2. Place pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and press outward until it is about 14″ in diameter. If using a 10×15 jelly roll pan, press the dough until it fits the pan completely.
3. Distribute mozzarella over the top of the pizza, leaving 1″ on all sides for the crust. Then, add the asparagus in any desired pattern and clumps of goat cheese.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until crust browns and the cheese melts. Then, remove the pizza from the oven and scatter the lemon zest, chili flakes and chopped anchovies evenly on top. Slice and serve.
Naptime Notes
Naptime Recipe Serving ideas
If you are not in the mood for asparagus other vegetables like peppers, artichoke hearts or eggplants would work well with this pizza. If you don’t have goat cheese on hand, ricotta would be a nice substitute. Make this thin and serve it in small triangles for a nice appetizer!
Naptime Stopwatch
Preparing the pizza takes 10 minutes and baking it takes another 10. A great meal to make days before a big move!
Naptime Reviews
My daughter is not the biggest fan of asparagus, but I am working on it. I think this pizza might help her come around.
