Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 45m

Yield Serves 3 generously, 4 at a pinch

Number Of Ingredients 8

290g twin-pack Italian pizza base mix
4 tomatoes (350g/12oz), skinned, seeded and finely chopped
3 tbsp green pesto
about 260g jar artichoke hearts or baby artichokes in oil, halved if not already done
50g prosciutto
150g packet mozzarella , drained and finely sliced
25g freshly grated parmesan (or vegetarian alternative)
2 tbsp oil from the artichoke jar

Steps:

  • Make up the pizza mix according to instructions (you will need to use both packets that are in the box). Roll out quite thinly and use to line the base of a 28-30cm shallow square or round baking tin. Let stand according to packet instructions and preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7/fan 200C.
  • Mix the tomatoes with 2 tbsp of the pesto and spread over the pizza, leaving a bare rim around the edge. Scatter the artichokes and prosciutto on top (the ham tears as you remove it from the packet, which is what you want). Cover with the mozzarella and sprinkle with the Parmesan and some freshly ground black pepper, then drizzle with the rest of the pesto mixed with the artichoke oil.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes until the base is cooked through and the cheese has melted. Serve hot.

PESTO PIZZA WITH FETA AND ARTICHOKES



Pesto Pizza with Feta and Artichokes image

Provided by Eddie Jackson

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
6 cups loosely packed baby arugula
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces bacon or pancetta, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1 cup crumbled feta
1 cup sliced marinated artichoke hearts
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices plus 1 tablespoon brine from the jar

Steps:

  • For the dough: Mix the sugar and yeast in 1 1/2 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F).
  • Let sit until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the olive oil. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast mixture with the flour and salt and mix on low until smooth.
  • Switch to the dough hook and knead on medium, adding a little more flour or water if needed, until the dough forms a loose, sticky ball around the hook. Increase the speed to medium-high and knead until the dough is soft, smooth and springy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Put the dough in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • For the topping: Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic and 3 cups of the arugula. Process to make a chunky paste. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and process until smooth. Add the Parmesan and pulse just until incorporated. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  • When the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with a baking stone on the bottom rack.
  • Punch down the dough. Brush an 18-by-13-inch rimmed half-sheet pan liberally with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the pan and press it all the way into the corners (it helps to cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap while pressing so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers).
  • Bake on the preheated stone until the dough has puffed and just begins to color, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the dough from the oven, loosen from the baking sheet with a metal spatula and brush lightly with olive oil. (The crust can be baked ahead to this point and topped and finished in the oven later, if desired.)
  • Spread the pesto on the dough almost to the edges. Top with the mozzarella, feta, artichokes, cooked bacon and jalapeno slices.
  • Bake on the top rack until the cheese is browned and crusty, about 8 minutes more.
  • In a large bowl, toss the remaining 3 cups arugula with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the jalapeno brine. Season with salt and pepper and scatter over the pizza. Cut into squares to serve.

GARLIC, ARTICHOKE HEARTS, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, AND PESTO PIZZA



Garlic, Artichoke Hearts, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Pesto Pizza image

Based on a pizza from Romio's, a regional chain of pizza & pasta restaurants. One of our very favorite pizzas! The first time I ever had it, DH made it for me the night we got engaged. Ahh, the memories! :D

Provided by Halcyon Eve

Categories     European

Time 35m

Yield 8 slices, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 inch) pizza crusts, unbaked (I buy or make dough)
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
6 large garlic cloves, very thinly sliced (a garlic mandolin works well for this)
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato
simmering water
1 cup pizza sauce (more or less according to taste)
2 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided (or according to taste, I like it cheesy)
1 (14 ounce) can quartered water-packed artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (or Romano or Asiago) (optional)
1 (7 ounce) container fresh basil pesto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425* F. Stretch dough over a 12-inch greased pizza pan. Brush with olive oil and scatter garlic slices evenly over crust. Place in oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, place sun-dried tomatoes in a heat-resistant, non-reactive bowl (such as Pyrex). Pour enough simmering water over to completely cover tomatoes. Let soak about 5-10 minutes or until tender; drain liquid and slice into strips.
  • When crust is ready, spread sauce over garlic slices (try not to shift them around any more than can be helped). Top with about 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, or to taste. Scatter strips of sun-dried tomatoes evenly over cheese. Place artichoke heart quarters evenly across pizza, then top with remaining mozzarella and the parmesan, if using.
  • Return to oven and bake at 425* F for about 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and turning golden brown in spots.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest 3-4 minutes to set up. Cut into slices.
  • Top pizza slices with dollops of pesto and serve.
