Best Roasted Vegetable And Goat Cheese Pizza Recipes

THIN-CRUST PIZZA WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Make the dough. Toward the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 500˚ F (use the convection setting, if available) with a pizza stone, baking steel or inverted large baking sheet in the lower third of the oven.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; put the bell pepper halves on one side and the mushrooms on the other side. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil; rub all over the peppers and toss the mushrooms to coat. Arrange the peppers cut-side down and roast, turning the peppers and stirring the mushrooms occasionally, until the peppers are tender and browned and the mushrooms are tender and dry, 15 to 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes (reduce the heat if the onions start to get too dark). Stir in 1/4 cup water, the tomato paste and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tomato paste is toasted and a few shades darker, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar; season with salt, pepper and more sugar, if needed. (The sauce should be slightly sweet and tangy.) Let cool.
• Remove the roasted peppers to a cutting board and chop; transfer to a large bowl and stir in the mushrooms, artichoke hearts and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• On a lightly floured surface, cut one 1-pound ball of dough in half. Cup your hand around each piece and gently roll each into a small ball. Transfer 1 ball of dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper and roll into a thin 12-inch round with a rolling pin (keep the other ball of dough covered).
• Top the dough with half of the sauce, spreading it to the edge, then top with half of the roasted vegetable mixture and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
• Transfer the pizza (on the parchment) to the hot stone and bake until the crust is set, 3 to 5 minutes. Slide out the parchment from under the pizza. Continue baking until the crust is golden brown and crisp, 7 to 10 more minutes. Remove the pizza to a cutting board and dot with half of the ricotta. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and top with basil. Repeat to make another pizza.
• Sprinkle the yeast over the hot water in a small bowl. Let stand until dissolved and slightly foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the bread flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add the olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, dust the dough with flour and knead, dusting with more flour as needed, until very smooth and elastic but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Divide the dough into two 1-pound balls. (If making sheet-pan pizza, let the dough rise, covered, on an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet coated with 3 tablespoons olive oil instead of in a bowl; do not divide into two balls.)
• If not using the dough right away, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before using.

HONEY-ROASTED CARROT AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with foil.
• Toss carrot slices with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss red onion with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the carrots and onions on their own baking sheets.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• While carrot and onion are roasting, combine goat cheese, egg yolk, garlic, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Remove vegetables from the oven. Toss carrots with honey and set aside. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Spread the goat cheese mixture all over the crust, leaving about 1/4 inch from edge. Arrange carrot on the pizza and sprinkle with red onion.
• Bake pizza until cheese is melted and starting to brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
• While the pizza bakes, toss arugula with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cut pizza into slices and top with the salad, or serve it on the side.

ROASTED VEGETABLE PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan, toss mushrooms, bell pepper and onion with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; toss. Spread evenly in pan. Bake 12 to 16 minutes, stirring once, until vegetables are tender.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, yeast, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the warm water and 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on high speed 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 cup flour and the basil to form a soft dough.
• On lightly floured surface, knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. On cookie sheet, press dough into 14x10-inch rectangle; prick with fork. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Brush crust with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Spread roasted vegetable mixture and tomatoes evenly over crust; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 6 to 8 minutes longer or until vegetables are warm and cheese is softened.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the onion, pepper and zucchini and saute over a medium heat for 4-5mins. Add the herbs and season with black pepper. Cook for a further 2 mins or until lightly browned and tender. Remove from the heat.
• Place the pizza bases on a baking tray and spread half the fresh salsa over each base. Scatter the vegetables over the pizza then crumble over the goat cheese. Season with black pepper and bake for 10-12 mins, until the base is cooked through.
