Loaded Artichoke Capricciosa Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Pizza Capricciosa ('capricious') is about abundance: all the good things from the Italian pantry. Here, artichoke is the star, bringing an elegant, nutty, earthy flavor and meaty texture to the classic duo of ham and mushroom. The secret is to drain the artichokes well so their marinade doesn't overpower the pizza.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 425°F. Prep toppings: slice mushrooms very thinly, quarter artichokes and pat dry, tear ham.

Tip: Thin mushrooms cook faster and have a more concentrated flavor.
2 ✓

Stretch dough into a circle and place on a parchment-lined sheet. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Tip: Resting relaxes the gluten, preventing the dough from shrinking back.
3 ✓

Spread sauce, sprinkle mozzarella. Distribute ham, mushrooms, olives, and artichokes.

Tip: Don't overlap toppings too much or the dough underneath won't cook.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with oregano. Bake 12-14 minutes until cheese is golden and crust is crisp.

Tip: Oregano oils activate with heat; the cheese fat protects them from burning.
5 ✓

Cool for a few minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Tip: Flavors are more distinct when the pizza isn't piping hot.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the pizza sour?
Vinegar-marinated artichokes can cause this. Rinse them with water and pat dry, or use oil-packed artichokes.
The mushrooms made it watery.
Fresh mushrooms contain lots of water. Slice them paper-thin so the oven heat evaporates the moisture quickly.
