There are times when you get exposed to a recipe that can change your entire perspective. This was one of those moments. It inspired a series of new pizzas in our home and we have never looked back! It all started with a concept featured in Bon Appetit's May 2012 Issue. Then we adapted it based upon several favorite ingredients we could not live without. Voila! An entire meal on one crust.
Tips: 30 minutes prior to starting:
- Turn on your oven as hot as it will go. Ours can hit 550 degrees which produces a great crust.
- Use a pizza stone. Put it in your oven and forget about it. Ours is a full time accessory - we never take it out.
- If you are using a pre-made dough crust, take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. (see below).
1 whole wheat pizza dough
Note: You can make your own dough or a great option is purchasing one. We love Whole Foods Whole Wheat Pizza dough that you can pick up in the refrigerated section. If you go this route, be sure to let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. It will improve the elasticity and create a fantastic crust.
Start with the Sauce:
1/2 tbsp Olive oil
