Pizza a la Spring

Apr 29, 2011   //   by farmersoforange   //   recipes  //  No Comments

One of our new vendors Porcino sells pizza dough. Here are some ideas for topping mixes with almost all the ingredients from market via Epicurious.com:

Pizza Bianca with Goat Cheese and Greens

  • 1 bunch Swiss chard (about 10 ounces), white ribs cut away
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • Cook chard in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water; drain. Squeeze dry, then coarsely chop. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add chard and stir 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. Sprinkle mozzarella over dough, leaving 1-inch border. Scatter chard over mozzarella. Top with goat cheese.

    Pizza with Pesto, Fresh Tomatoes, and Mozzarella

  • 6 ounces grated fresh mozzarella (about 1‚ cups)
  • 3 plum tomatoes
  • 1 pound pizza dough (thawed if frozen)
  • all-purpose flour for dusting
  • 3 tablespoons basil pesto
  • Coarsely grate mozzarella and cut tomatoes crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. On a floured surface with your hands pat out and stretch dough evenly into a 12-inch round, keeping hands flat. (Do not handle dough more than necessary. If dough is sticky, dust it lightly with flour.) Spread pesto over dough leaving a 1-inch border and sprinkle with cheese. Arrange tomato slices over cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grilled Sausage and Fig Pizza with Goat Cheese

  • 1 pound purchased fresh pizza dough
  • 5 tablespoons Pomegranate-Cumin Dressing, divided
  • 1 cup coarsely grated Fontina cheese
  • Fresh arugula
  • 2 grilled sausages, sliced 1/3 inch thick,
  • 2 thin red onion slices, rings separated
  • 1 cup crumbled soft fresh goat cheese
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Halve dough; roll to 10-inch rounds. Brush tops with some of dressing.

    Grill pizzas, seasoned side down, until golden on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn pizzas over. Top with Fontina, arugula, sausages, figs, and onions. Drizzle with more dressing. Cover; grill until Fontina melts and pizza is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Top with goat cheese. Grill until goat cheese softens, about 1 minute.
