A delicious pizza! You can use the pizza crust here or make your own or buy one. I have 5 pounds of garlic right now, so this is a great way to use some of it. This does take some time, so make the sauce the night before. Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse from the show Pizza Pizzaz.

Time 1h55m

Yield 1 15

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup whole milk (or non dairy milk of choice)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 -4 heads roasted garlic (recipe follows)
2 -3 tablespoons yellow cornmeal, for sprinkling on baker's peel
1 parmesan pizza dough (recipe follows-or storebought)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
4 ounces grated fontina
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 -4 heads garlic, upper quarter removed
4 teaspoons olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (can sub 3/4 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 pinch salt
yellow cornmeal, for sprinkling the baking sheet

Steps:

  • Gently heat milk in a small saucepan, just until barely simmering. Remove and keep covered.
  • In a separate saucepan, melt butter. When foam subsides, add flour and stir until smooth. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring. Do not allow flour to color. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking to combine. Add the salt and cayenne and increase the heat to medium. Cook the mixture, whisking continuously, until the sauce comes to a boil and is thickened. Remove from heat and add 10 of the roasted garlic cloves. Pour the hot mixture into a blender, cover tightly, and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and cool slightly, placing a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface.
  • Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the yellow cornmeal on a baker's peel or baking sheet. Place the rolled out pizza dough circle on the prepared baker's peel or baking sheet.
  • Spread the cooled sauce over pizza dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Place sliced mozzarella on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the remaining roasted garlic cloves (whole) over the cheese and top with the grated fontina. Bake the pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly and golden brown in spots. Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped herbs over the top. Serve immediately.
  • Roasted Garlic:.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet and rub 1 teaspoon of oil into the top of each head. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and place, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Carefully remove each clove of garlic from the head. Squeeze each head of garlic to expel any cloves that you cannot remove individually. Set aside until needed.
  • Parmesan Pizza Dough:.
  • In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Oil a large mixing bowl with remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place, free from drafts until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 15-inch circle.

Roasted Garlic & Spinach White Pizza (with Optional Chicken) image

Great garlic goodness! This cheesy vegetarian white pizza boasts roasted garlic mixed in with the ricotta AND a few cloves plopped directly on the pizza itself. Fresh herbs add flavor, spinach adds a little variety, and a good amount of melty mozzarella cheese seals the deal. Add grilled chicken for the carnivores and everyone's happy!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1 pound refrigerated pizza crust dough (I like Trader Joe's garlic & herb dough for this one) or use your own favorite pizza dough
24 medium cloves garlic (about 2 heads, separated, peel left on)
1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons olive oil + more for working the crust
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (whole milk ricotta works too)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more for sprinkling the garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 10-ounce bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove any excess moisture
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided) (about 8 ounces)
1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Drizzle a baking sheet with a little olive oil and place the pizza dough on top to rest before working. (Trader Joe's pizza dough requires 30 minutes sitting at room temperature, so I usually do that first).
  • Lay out a large square of foil and place the garlic cloves on top (be sure you leave the peel on!). Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with a couple of pinches of kosher salt. Fold the foil into a sealed packet and place in the oven (put it on a baking sheet if you're worried about leaking). Roast the garlic until soft, golden, and fragrant, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel the cloves and discard the skins. Increase oven heat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the pizza.
  • Add 8 of the peeled garlic cloves to a small bowl. Smash with a fork. Add the ricotta, 2 teaspoons olive oil, basil, honey, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • If using chicken, heat the outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan on medium-high. Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping occasionally, until cooked through (we always check the internal temperature, which should register 165 degrees Fahrenheit). Set aside to cool. Once cool, cut into chunks.
  • Stretch the pizza crust into a large (approx. 14-inch) round and place on greased cookie sheet or a pizza stone. If creating one meatless version and one chicken version, split the dough in half and stretch each into smaller rounds, approximately 8 inches or so, and place each on an olive-oil-greased cookie sheet.
  • Top the crust(s) with tablespoon-sized mounts of ricotta, as evenly spaced as possible (but it doesn't have to be perfect!) Scatter with spinach and remaining garlic cloves. Top with cooked chicken chunks if using (you may only want to use half of the chicken if you're making two smaller pizzas). Scatter mozzarella cheese over the top(s).
  • Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling, 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges with a pizza cutter and serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of garlic: For the best flavor, use fresh garlic cloves. Avoid using pre-minced or jarred garlic, as it will not have the same depth of flavor.
  • Roast the garlic properly: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it spreadable. To roast the garlic, wrap the cloves in foil and bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are soft and golden brown.
  • Make the garlic sauce ahead of time: The garlic sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Use a high-quality mozzarella cheese: The quality of the mozzarella cheese will make a big difference in the flavor of the pizza. Use a fresh, whole-milk mozzarella cheese that is shredded or grated just before using.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: The pizza should be baked at a high temperature (450°F) so that the crust gets crispy and the cheese melts and bubbles.

Conclusion:

Roasted Garlic White Pizza with Garlic Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make pizza that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted garlic adds a depth of flavor to the pizza, while the garlic sauce is creamy and rich. This pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
