How to prepare.
Artichoke and Fontina Pizzas
Ingredients:
For the Pizza Dough:
➤1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
For the Toppings:
➤1 cup canned or marinated artichoke hearts, drained and sliced
➤1 1/2 cups grated Fontina cheese
➤1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
➤1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
➤2 cloves garlic, minced
➤2 tablespoons olive oil
➤Salt and black pepper to taste
➤Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
1. Preheat the Oven:
➤Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can go, typically around 475-500°F (245-260°C). If v you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
2. Prepare the Pizza Dough:
➤Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a pizza stone, transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make transferring it to the hot stone easier.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
➤Drizzle olive oil over the pizza dough, and use a pastry brush to evenly coat the surface.
➤Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the dough.
➤Spread a layer of grated Fontina cheese over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
➤Scatter the sliced artichoke hearts on top of the cheese.
➤Add a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you want some heat).
➤Finish with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake the Pizza:
➤If using a pizza stone, carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone in the oven. If not using a stone, place the pizza on a baking sheet.
➤Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
5. Finish and Serve:
➤Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle torn basil leaves over the hot pizza.
➤Allow the pizza to cool for a minute or two, then slice it into pieces and serve.
This Artichoke and Fontina Pizza is a delightful blend of flavors and makes for a unique and delicious meal. Enjoy it as a main course or as an appetizer.
