SMOKEY SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE BLONDE PIZZA



Smokey Spinach and Artichoke Blonde Pizza image

Blonde pizza is made without tomato sauce. This makes two large (10 x 15 inch rectangular, or 14-inch round) thin and crispy crust pizza. If a thicker crust is desired, use smaller pans and roll dough thicker. Most of the time is spent waiting for the dough to rise. Made for RSC #11.

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 pizzas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour (may substitute up to 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, if desired)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast (rapid rise)
1 1/2 cups warm water
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup minced shallot
1/4 cup minced garlic
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts
2 cups grated smoked gouda cheese

Steps:

  • Spinach Pizza
  • Mix flour, salt, and instant yeast in a mixing bowl. Add warm water and mix well.
  • Turn dough mixture out on to a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Put 2 tablespoons oil into the mixing bowl, and turn the bowl to coat with oil. Add the dough to the oiled bowl and turn it around so that all sides are covered with oil.
  • Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot to rise for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil with the minced shallots, minced garlic, salt, anchovy paste and oregano, and mash until a uniform paste is achieved. Set aside.
  • Squeeze the moisture out of the thawed chopped spinach. Measure out 1/2 cup of spinach for pizza, packing well into measuring cup. Reserve remaining spinach for another use.
  • Drain artichoke hearts and remove any tough outer leaves. Chop into quarters or smaller.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F and put rack at, or above, center.
  • After dough has doubled in size, punch down and turn out to floured surface. Divide in half, and roll each half to fit your pans.
  • Heap up a little dough around the edges.
  • Set dough in pans aside in a warm spot, covered with a clean kitchen towel or a large piece of plastic wrap, to rest for 15 minutes.
  • After resting, coat each dough with half of the shallot/garlic mixture.
  • Top with the pieces of artichoke, and small bits of spinach, evenly distributing around pizza. The pizza will not be completely covered with topping -- you will still be able to see small areas of dough.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese over each pizza.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crust is browned and cheese is bubbly. You may want to rotate pizzas halfway through baking to prevent uneven cooking.

Having to spend $10 on a tiny gluten free pizza can be frustrating. Thanks to my friend Jess I've now adapted a recipe that can be not only cheaper, but also much better tasting than any of the freezer varieties out there.

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 50m

Yield 2 12, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon yeast (normally in 1/4 oz packets which is just fine)
1 1/3 cups milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/3 cups gluten-free flour (mine was mostly brown rice based)
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 (18 ounce) jar of your favorite marinara sauce, but check the ingredients for gluten (I used Kroger brand)
1 (8 ounce) can artichokes
1 bunch spinach leaves
1 (10 ounce) bag of shredded cheese (I used Sargento's 4 cheese blend)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Activate the yeast by placing in warm milk with the sugar. If warm enough, the yeast will bubble and thicken. This may take up to 10 minutes.
  • While the yeast is activating, pour the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the remaining wet ingredients to the yeast and then combine the wet and dry ingredients.
  • You want the dough to hold together well, but not be crumbly or runny. It should hold its shape. Add more milk if needed.
  • dust counter and hands with some more corn starch to keep the dough from sticking, and press out two 12" round pizza crusts.
  • Rub a tablespoon of marinara sauce over each crust and place into oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and add spinach, marinara sauce, artichokes, and cheese (enough for your liking) and place back into oven for 15 minutes.
  • Freeze what you don't eat for a quick dinner later.

Tips:

  • For the spinach and artichoke filling, use fresh baby spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all excess moisture before using.
  • To make the blonde pizza dough, use a high-quality bread flour for the best results. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which will result in a chewier, more flavorful crust.
  • When assembling the pizza, be sure to spread the spinach and artichoke filling evenly over the dough. Don't overload the pizza with toppings, or it will be difficult to cook through.
  • Bake the pizza in a preheated oven for the best results. A preheated oven will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Garnish the pizza with fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, before serving. This will add a pop of flavor and color to the dish.

Conclusion:

This recipe for smoky spinach and artichoke blonde pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of smoky flavors from the spinach and artichoke filling and the crispy blonde pizza crust is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe to try, be sure to give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
