WHITE PIZZA WITH PICKLED ONIONS AND PEPPERS



White Pizza with Pickled Onions and Peppers image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup ricotta, preferably fresh
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 cup grated Monterey Jack
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking sheet and drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Quick Basic Pizza Dough, or 1 pound store-bought dough
1 1/2 cups Pickled Onions and Peppers
2 ounces soppressata, very thinly sliced
Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Stir together cheeses, garlic, and oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide dough in half; let rest 10 minutes. Brush a baking sheet with oil. Stretch one piece of dough into a 10-inch round on sheet. Dot with half of cheese mixture, then top with half of pickles and half of soppressata.
  • Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling, 10 to 12 minutes. Drizzle with oil, top with parsley, and serve. Repeat with remaining dough and toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of onions and peppers. For best results, use firm, crisp onions and peppers that are free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of vinegar. Different types of vinegar will give your pickled onions and peppers different flavors. White vinegar is a good all-purpose choice, but you can also use apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, or even balsamic vinegar.
  • Add spices and herbs. Spices and herbs can add a lot of flavor to your pickled onions and peppers. Some good choices include garlic, peppercorns, dill, and bay leaves.
  • Let them pickle for at least 24 hours. The longer you let your pickled onions and peppers pickle, the more flavor they will have. However, you can enjoy them after just a few hours if you are impatient.
  • Store them properly. Pickled onions and peppers will last for several months in the refrigerator. Be sure to store them in a clean, airtight container.

Conclusion:

Pickled onions and peppers are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste.
