Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ medium eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place eggplant in a baking pan. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, and basil; toss to coat.
  • Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely. Remove from the oven and mix in tomato. Put back in the oven and broil until eggplant is soft and just a bit golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; be careful it doesn't burn. Remove from the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Grease a pizza pan or cookie sheet with remaining olive oil. Spread pizza dough to fit, using more dough for thick crust and less for thin. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the dough, then the eggplant-tomato mixture, and finally remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND BUFFALO MOZZARELLA PIZZA



Roasted Eggplant and Buffalo Mozzarella Pizza image

In Italy, when high-quality buffalo mozzarella is used to top a pizza, it's often added after baking instead of before. The heat of the just-cooked pizza softens but doesn't melt the cheese, which retains its milky, sweet flavor and stays supple instead of becoming stretchy. Here, the cheese crowns a pizza topped with tomato, roasted eggplant, chile flakes and fresh basil leaves. If you can't get good buffalo mozzarella, substitute dollops of fresh ricotta. Or, you could experiment with burrata, draining it first. Save the cream, mix it with olive oil and salt, then use it to top ripe tomatoes instead of dressing. And if you are in a rush, substitute store-bought pizza dough.

Time 19h30m

Yield 4 12-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 3/4 cup/420 milliliters warm, not hot, water
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
4 1/2 cups/575 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 pounds eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes (2 medium, or 1 large)
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
1/2 cup canned plum tomatoes, puréed
4 to 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, to taste
Red-pepper flakes, as needed
8 ounces fresh buffalo mozzarella
Basil leaves, torn into pieces
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Mix the yeast, warm water and olive oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer or food processor, and let the mixture sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in flour and salt, and using the dough hook or food processor blade, beat or pulse it until a smooth, slightly elastic dough forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly coat a bowl with olive oil, place dough in the bowl, and turn the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, place in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight.
  • Divide the dough in quarters, and shape each piece into a tight, compact ball. Place the dough balls on a lightly oiled baking sheet or plate, loosely cover with plastic wrap and let them rise in the refrigerator another 1 to 2 hours (or up to 6 hours).
  • When ready to bake the pizzas, place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven. Put a pizza stone on top rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Prepare the toppings: On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the eggplant generously with oil, salt and pepper. Roast eggplant on the bottom rack until caramelized and tender, 40 to 45 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove from the oven and raise the oven heat to 500 degrees.
  • On a piece of parchment paper, stretch out one of the balls of dough to a 12-inch round. Spread 2 tablespoons tomato purée on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Scatter on 1/4 of the sliced garlic, a large pinch of red-pepper flakes and drizzle with oil to taste.
  • Arrange 1/4 of the roasted eggplant on top. Use a pizza peel or cookie sheet to slide the parchment onto the pizza stone. Bake until crispy and golden on the top and bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to pull the pizza out of the oven and onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Immediately top with chunks of cheese, pulling it apart with your hands into bite-size pieces. Top with basil, more oil to taste and flaky sea salt. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.

EGGPLANT, TOMATO, AND FONTINA PIZZA



Eggplant, Tomato, and Fontina Pizza image

Categories     Cheese     Tomato     Vegetable     Bake     Vegetarian     Mint     Basil     Eggplant     Fontina     Gourmet

Yield Makes 2 (10-inch) pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (1 1/2-pound) eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
2 garlic cloves
10 ounces grape tomatoes (2 cups), quartered
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing dough
Pizza dough
Flour for dredging
1/4 pound Italian Fontina, rind discarded and cheese cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
Special Equipment
a pizza stone; parchment paper; a baking peel or rimless baking sheet

Steps:

  • Prepare pizza toppings:
  • Sprinkle eggplant with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a colander and let drain in sink, turning slices occasionally, 30 minutes.
  • Finely chop together basil, mint, and garlic. Toss with tomatoes in a bowl, then drain in a sieve set over bowl.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Rinse eggplant, then pat dry in batches between paper towels, pressing firmly to remove excess liquid. Brush both sides of slices with oil (about 4 tablespoons total) and form small stacks, then cut stacks into quarters. Arrange eggplant pieces in 1 layer in 2 shallow heavy baking pans and broil, 1 pan at a time, about 5 to 6 inches from heat, turning eggplant over once, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes per batch. Cool eggplant to room temperature.
  • Put pizza stone in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 500°F (allow 1 hour for pizza stone to heat).
  • Assemble pizzas:
  • Do not punch down dough. Gently dredge 1 piece of dough in flour to coat, then transfer to a sheet of parchment paper set on baking peel or baking sheet. Holding 1 edge of floured dough in the air with both hands and letting bottom touch parchment, carefully move hands around edge of dough (like turning a steering wheel), allowing weight of dough to stretch it to a round roughly 10 inches in diameter. Lay round on parchment and adjust shape as needed.
  • Discard any liquid exuded from tomatoes and toss tomatoes with remaining tablespoon oil and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in bowl. Brush dough round with oil and scatter half of eggplant, half of tomatoes, and half of cheese over it, leaving a 1-inch border around edge. Line up far edge of peel with far edge of pizza stone and tilt peel down, jerking it gently to start pizza moving. Slide pizza, along with parchment, onto stone and bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove pizza from oven by sliding peel under paper. Transfer pizza to a cutting board and discard parchment.
  • While first pizza is baking, assemble second pizza on another sheet of parchment, then bake in same manner.

EGGPLANT AND RED BELL PEPPER NAAN PIZZA RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Eggplant and Red Bell Pepper Naan Pizza Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by ladygourmet

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 eggplant
5 red bell peppers
5 cloves garlic
1 large onion
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. turmeric
2 tablespoons olive oil
Shredded cheese for topping
Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
Naan bread

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven 375 degrees. Place the whole eggplant, peppers, peeled onion, garlic and onion in the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes. Let the vegetables cool. Take the stems off of the peppers and remove the meat from the eggplant. Place all of the ingredients in the food processor and give a few good chops. Spread over on the naan bread and top with your favorite shredded cheese. Bake 12 - 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread has a nice golden color. This eggplant and pepper mixture may be used as a spread, dip or sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for small to medium-sized eggplants that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Roast the eggplant properly: Roasting the eggplant brings out its smoky and slightly caramelized flavor. Make sure to pierce the eggplant all over with a fork before roasting to allow the steam to escape and prevent the eggplant from bursting.
  • Use a flavorful tomato sauce: The tomato sauce is a key component of this pizza, so use a sauce that you love. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and add plenty of herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the naan: When assembling the pizza, don't overcrowd the naan with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The pizza is done baking when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Roasted Eggplant Tomato Naan Pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. The roasted eggplant adds a smoky and slightly caramelized flavor to the pizza, while the tomato sauce and cheese provide a classic combination of flavors. The naan bread makes a crispy and flavorful crust, and the whole pizza is topped with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. This pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
