Who doesn’t love pizza, especially when it’s homemade? We have adapted this delicious pizza recipe from our friends at weolive.com and we’ve added garlic olive oil to the crust!
1 tablespoon Bodacious Olive Lemon Olive Oil
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup of goat cheese
3/4 cup of chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1 cup chopped artichokes, drained well
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons of fresh chopped chives
1 cup of fresh chopped basil
Drizzling of Bodacious Olive 18 Year Aged Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
¼ ounce pkg. dry active yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
⅔ cup warm water
¼ cup Bodacious Olive Garlic Olive Oil (or your favorite flavor)
2 cups all-purpose flour
- Place the yeast, salt, sugar and water in the bowl. Mix with a mixer, pulsing for 10 seconds. Add the garlic olive oil and flour, 1 cup at a time, pulsing until the dough is smooth and no lumps remain. Transfer the dough to a lightly-oiled bowl and cover. Let rise for about 1 hour. If you are making high-rise pizza dough, punch down the dough and let rise again for 45 minutes. If not, eliminate the second rising and spread the dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Brush pizza with the tablespoon of lemon olive oil. Top with all ingredients except chives, basil, and vinegar. Bake at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the toppings and cheeses are hot. Once out the oven, add herbs and drizzle all over with balsamic vinegar.
