Tired of the standard pepperoni, cheese, and tomato sauce on your pizza?

Sarah Romero and Elizabeth Menlove from Kiwi and Carrot make a traditional margherita pizza and two unique pizzas- a Beet and Goat Cheese pizza and a Berry Asparagus pizza.

Total Time: 60 minutes

Yield: 4-6 of each type of pizza

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 2 Tbsp. dry yeast
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • Cornmeal for sprinkling

Beet and Goat Cheese Pizza:

  • Steamed beets
  • Goat cheese

Instructions:

Dough
  1. Combine the yeast, honey and warm water in a standing mixing bowl. Let sit for about five minutes until the yeast begins to bubble.
  2. Add the oil, 4 cups of flour and salt. Blend on low using a dough hook.
  3. Increase the speed and knead for 8-10 minutes. Add more flour as needed if the dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl. (It should stick to bottom of bowl but pull away from sides.)
  4. Cover the bowl and let rise for 30-40 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  6. Divide dough into 4-6 pieces. Roll out to desired thickness. Top with favorites (see below or see in your fridge/pantry;) and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Margherita

  1. Slice tomatoes in half. Slice cheese.
  2. Add garlic to oil.
  3. Brush rolled-out dough with garlic oil and add toppings

  1. Cut artichoke hearts into fourths.
  2. Cut asparagus into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Slice cheese.

  5. Brush dough with garlic oil and add all toppings.

Beet and Goat Cheese

  1. Slice beets.
  2. Place beets and goat cheese on pizza. Bake.
  3. While pizza bakes, make a balsamic reduction: Place vinegar and maple syrup in small saucepan and simmer 15 minutes, until reduced and thickened.
  4. When pizza is cooked, cover with arugula and sprinkle with pistachios. Drizzle with balsamic reduction.
