My Three Favorite Pizzas

Brace yourself for three super delicious, non-traditional, non-red-sauce pizzas.  These are definitely my faves.    

PIZZA #1: ROASTED GARLIC & CHEESE 
Who knew so few ingredients could be SO tasty? Sometimes less is more.
  














  • pizza dough 
  • olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • roasted garlic, a how-to here 
  • fresh mozzarella
  • shredded mozzarella

Heat pizza stone in a 500 degree oven.


Roll out pizza dough on parchment paper.


Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt.


Mash the cloves of roasted garlic on a plate and spread evenly over the crust.


Top with chunks of fresh mozzarella and then some shredded mozzarella.


Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bubbly and brown.



PIZZA #2: CHICKEN, ROASTED GARLIC, & SPINACH PIZZA
Roasted garlic plus some extras.  It was an experiment gone great.  













  • pizza dough
  • olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • roasted garlic, a how-to here 
  • red onion, thinly sliced
  • baby spinach
  • shredded chicken
  • fresh mozzarella
  • shredded mozzarella

Heat pizza stone in a 500 degree oven.


Roll out pizza dough on parchment paper.


Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt.


Mash cloves of roasted garlic on a plate and spread evenly over the dough.


Top dough with red onions, spinach, and shredded chicken.


Top with chunks of fresh mozzarella and then some shredded mozzarella.


Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bubbly and brown.



PIZZA #3: HAM, CARAMELIZED ONION, & GRUYERE PIZZA
Trader Joe's has a flat bread similar to this that I was trying to recreate.  Mission accomplished!  So. So. Good. 













  • pizza dough
  • olive oil
  • butter
  • Kosher salt
  • onion, thinly sliced 
  • ham, sliced or small chunks
  • gruyere or emmental cheese, shredded

Heat pizza stone in a 500 degree oven.


Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil on low heat in a medium-sized pan. 
  

Add onions, sprinkle with a small amount of Kosher salt, and cook on low heat for at least 20 minutes (or longer) until the onions are dark and caramelized. 


Roll out pizza dough on parchment paper.


Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt. 


Top dough with caramelized onions, sliced ham, and shredded gruyere.  


Bake for 8-10 minutes.
