Roman Artichoke Heart Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
Artichokes are the herald of the Roman spring. Although we can enjoy them canned on pizza all year round, the taste—earthy, slightly bitter, yet sweet—is unmistakable. The secret is the 'less is more' principle: don't overcrowd the dough, let the creaminess of the cheese and the texture of the artichoke shine on the crispy crust.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to max (450-500°F). If you have convection, use it.

Tip: Hot oven is the secret to crispy crust and blistered dough (thermal shock).
2 ✓

Remove artichokes and mozzarella from their liquid and pat dry with paper towels.

Tip: Excess liquid would turn to steam and steam the dough instead of baking it.
3 ✓

Stretch the dough by hand or with a rolling pin and place on parchment paper.

Tip: If you stretch by hand, more air stays in the rim, making it airier.
4 ✓

Spread with sauce, tear mozzarella over it, and distribute artichoke pieces.

Tip: Don't grate the cheese; torn mozzarella is more rustic and melts better.
5 ✓

Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Tip: Oil conducts heat, helping toppings cook.
6 ✓

Remove and IMMEDIATELY top with fresh basil.

Tip: Basil scent 'explodes' on the hot pizza but doesn't burn as if baked with it.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the dough get soggy?
You didn't drain the mozzarella or artichokes enough. Water is the enemy of pizza during baking!
Can I use store-bought dough?
Yes, but let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before stretching, otherwise it snaps back.
