I’ve been SO in the mood for pizza lately. We snatched some last night from an event some of the RAs had for the Super Bowl, and then when Alex asked me what I wanted to make for dinner tonight, all I could think of was pizza. And the roasted red peppers we had sitting ready in our fridge..
We also had some baby bellas, so we knew we wanted them to star in this pizza. Being slightly wary how a normal pizza sauce would go with the peppers, we opted for a garlic and olive oil blend on top of the crust to make it a white pizza. It was a good choice! So tasty.
We also added some spinach and onions for some extra flavor. And don’t forget the chili pepper flakes on top! What a kick! My chapped lips were burning after this one!
We don’t have a round pizza pan..or a pizza stone..so we flipped a cookie sheet over and put the pizza on top of it to bake! We used a Boboli Whole Wheat Thin Crust; it was delicious! I’m going to venture into homemade crust soon (I hope!).
White Pizza with Roasted Red Peppers, Mushrooms, Spinach & Onions
1 12-inch pizza crust (homemade or store bought)
about 4 baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T olive oil
1/4 cup roasted red peppers, thinly sliced
handful of spinach!
salt, to taste
mozzarella (enough to cover the crust) and a sprinkle of parmesan
Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Brush the prepared pizza dough with olive oil; sprinkle with garlic and salt. Top with cheeses until covered except for about 1 inch from the edge of the crust. Toss on onions and spinach evenly. Add mushrooms and peppers evenly so each slice gets a good taste! Pop it in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Slice and serve it up!
