Artichoke Pizza
Description
This Artichoke Pizza begins with spreading a ball of pizza dough into a large thin circle, creating a base that crisps at the edges when baked. Olive oil is brushed over the surface, providing a subtle richness that complements the toppings. Minced garlic offers a savory note paired with marinated artichokes, which contribute a tender texture and tangy flavor.
The pizza is topped with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, which melt to form a creamy, golden cheese layer. Baking directly on a preheated stone or inverted baking sheet at 500°F achieves a crunchy crust and thoroughly melted cheese. Fresh basil slices are scattered after baking, adding a bright herbal note and fresh aroma.
This pizza is best served hot and pairs well with a simple green salad or as a standalone snack. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for several days and reheated gently to preserve texture and flavor.
To store, separate slices with paper towels or parchment in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at low temperature or briefly in a microwave for convenience.
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough homemade or store-bought, ball
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ¾ cup artichokes chopped, marinated
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
- basil fresh, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°F with a baking stone or overturned cookie sheet inside. Spread the pizza dough out into a large circle on a piece of parchment sprinkled with cornmeal.
- Spread the olive oil over the top of the pizza dough, then sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped artichokes over the top. Top with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
- Use a pizza peel or thin cutting board to transfer the pizza to the preheated baking stone. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese is hot and bubbling. Sprinkle with sliced basil, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container with paper or parchment between pieces to prevent sticking.
- Reheat pizza in the oven at a low temperature to maintain crust crispness, or use the microwave for quicker reheating.
- Fresh basil added after baking preserves its bright flavor and color.
