Ingredients
- 6 garlic scapes cut in half or thirds
- ½ Tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounce pizza crust 12 inch precooked or pizza dough (see note).
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce or pasta sauce
- 12 kalamata olives halved
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella half of an 8-ounce ball
- 1-2 ounces finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 4-6 basil leaves optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F, including pizza stone if using (pizza stone is optional).
- Cut off seed end of scapes and compost or discard. Cut remainder of scape into sections from 1-inch to 6-inches in size (your choice).
- Heat oil in a large sautee pan and twirl the pan so it covers the bottom. Alternatively spray with non-stick spray. Cook on medium to medium-low, covered, for about 10 minutes turning the scapes after 5 minutes, until tender. It’s okay if they brown, but they should not char. Cut a piece of baking parchment large enough to accommodate a 12 inch pizza. Roll out pizza dough on parchment to form a 12 inch pizza crust in the thickness of your choice. Or if using a pre-cooked crust set crust on parchment.Top the crust as follows. Top pizza crust with sauce. Divide up garlic scapes on top of sauce. Dot with kalamata olive halves. Slice half of an 8-ounce ball of fresh into 4 slices and place evenly on top of pizza. Grate an ounce or two of Parmesan on top of this.Using a rimless baking sheet or a pizza peel, transfer parchment and pizza to oven and set on rack or pizza stone. Bake at 450 for about 10-15 minutes until crust is done and cheese is melted, perhaps with the barest hint of color.
- Remove from oven using baking sheet as a peel again. Cut and serve.

Notes
- For a pizza dough recipe, you can use my pre-baked crust recipe--even if you don't pre-bake. This will make about four ultra-thin 12-inch crusts, or two regular 12-inch crusts.
