Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked pizza dough (I use my homemade whole wheat pizza crust)
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 6 asparagus spears
- 1/4 cup snap peas
- 1/4 cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese
- 2 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
- large handful arugula leaves
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- 2 oz burrata
Instructions
- Place pizza stone in a cold oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
- Trim woody ends off of asparagus. Use a vegetable peeler to shave asparagus into thin ribbons. Slice snap peas in half lengthwise.
- Stretch pizza dough into a circle on a piece of parchment paper, leaving the edges slightly thicker than the center.
- Spread pesto onto pizza dough. Top with snap peas, asparagus ribbons, parmesan and mozzarella.
- Carefully slide pizza on the parchment onto the preheated baking stone. Bake 8-10 minutes.
- While pizza is baking, toss arugula with lemon and oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove pizza from oven. Tear burrata into a few pieces and place on top of the pizza. Top with arugula. Let the pizza stand for a few minutes so the burrata warms through.
- Slice pizza and serve.
Notes
- If you can't find burrata, you can skip it and double the mozzarella.
- If you don't have a pizza stone, use a sturdy baking sheet.
- You can also grill this pizza using the same instructions, pizza stone and all!
