Pizza from scratch need not be solely a weekend pursuit. Start the dough in the morning, and let it slowly rise in the fridge over the course of the day. Our no-sauce version brings out the earthiness of chard.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 bunch Swiss chard (1 pound), stems removed and thinly sliced, leaves torn into pieces
Coarse salt
1 pound store-bought whole-wheat pizza dough or homemade Large-Batch Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 pounds Swiss chard or rainbow chard (3 or 4 large bunches)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
Freshly ground pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 recipe Roasted Garlic Paste, recipe follows (or 2 heads roasted garlic)
2 cups shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano
One 24-inch loaf French bread or 2 smaller loaves (3 inches wide)
6 heads garlic, tops trimmed off to expose all of the cloves
1 cup EVOO
3 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stems from the chard but keep the leaves whole. Add the chard to the boiling water (the pot will be packed at first) and cook for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cool water. Drain again, then wrap the chard in a kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the excess water. Chop the chard.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Stir in 1/3 cup Roasted Garlic Paste.
  • Spread half the chard in the bottom of a medium casserole dish. Top with half the garlic sauce and half the cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Halve the bread lengthwise, then cut in half crosswise to make four 12-inch-long pieces. Broil the bread, cut-side up, until charred, about 1 minute. Slather with the remaining Roasted Garlic Paste and top each piece with one-quarter of the chard au gratin. Cut each pizza in half and serve.
  • The unbaked chard au gratin can covered be and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal. Bring to room temperature, then bake as directed.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the garlic in a cluster on a large piece of foil and drizzle with 1/4 cup EVOO. Wrap up the garlic in the foil to make a tightly sealed pouch. Roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze the garlic from the skins into a food processor. Add the remaining 3/4 cup EVOO and the honey and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth, then transfer to a small container. (Alternatively, you can mash the garlic paste with a fork instead of using a food processor.)

SWISS CHARD WITH GARLIC



Swiss Chard with Garlic image

This is a very simple recipe for Swiss chard. I like to use the whole vegetable but you need to saute the stems and the leaves separately as the stems take longer. This won't make a lot as the chard will wilt, so if you love chard, think about doubling the recipe.

SWISS CHARD AND RICOTTA CORNMEAL CRUST PIZZA



Swiss Chard and Ricotta Cornmeal Crust Pizza image

This pizza is one of the best 10 recipes printed in "O" magazine since day one-about 750 recipes in total. Created by Susan Spungen from the March 2008 issue The Oprah Magazine The dough recipe yields enough dough for four 10-inch pizzas. Use half here; freeze the other half double-wrapped in plastic. You can use whole wheat flour in place of up to 1 cup white flour and more ricotta and parmesan cheese can be added as desired. NOTE: when I first posted this recipe, I included ABM instructions, after trying it in the bread maker twice, I've decided this dough should be made by hand. .

Categories     Chard

Time 40m

Yield 2 pizzas, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 bunch swiss chard (about 12 oz.)
4 slices bacon, cut into 3/4-inch squares
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (grated-optional)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
pizza dough
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (1 tablespoon)
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons milk
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups cornmeal (stone ground, plus more for pan)

Steps:

  • Pizza Dough:.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer (warmed with hot water and wiped dry), combine yeast with 1/2 cup warm water; stir with a wooden spoon until dissolved. Stir in 1 cup flour (mixture will become thick and stiff). Cover with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Add oil, milk, salt and 1 cup warm water. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with paddle attachment. With mixer on low, slowly add remaining flour and cornmeal. Mix into a soft dough. Change to a dough hook; knead 15 minutes, until sticky.
  • Form dough into a ball. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough, knead a few times and reshape into a ball. Return to bowl, cover and let sit until nearly doubled, about 40 minutes. Divide into 4 balls; reserve 2 for later use.
  • Using your hands, stretch a ball of dough into a disk; using a rolling pin, roll into a thin 10-inch circle. Transfer to a heavy baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Repeat with other ball of dough.
  • Pizza Topping:.
  • Strip Swiss chard leaves from stems. Chop stems, tear leaves; set aside, separated. Place bacon in sauté pan; set over medium heat. Cook until fat has rendered and bacon just begins to brown, 8-10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Pour off all but a little fat from the pan; add garlic. Cook until golden, 2-3 minutes. Add Swiss chard stems. Cook 8-10 minutes, until softened. Add leaves and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 450°; Divide greens evenly between the 2 pizzas, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Crumble ricotta over the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan,mozarella (if using) and bacon. Bake until brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes, rotating pans halfway through cooking. Sprinkle with sea salt and red pepper flakes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh Swiss chard. If you can't find it, you can substitute kale or spinach.
  • To make sure the Swiss chard is cooked through, wilt it in a pan with a little olive oil before adding it to the pizza.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Gruyère is a classic choice, but you could also use mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a greased baking sheet.
  • For a crispy crust, bake the pizza at a high temperature for a short amount of time.

Conclusion:

This Swiss chard, garlic, and Gruyère pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
