Pink Beet Crust Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (with pizza stone if you have one).
• Stir water and yeast together in a bowl until well-combined.
• Add flour, salt, honey and pureed beets to the yeast mixture and mix together.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop and knead it until the flour is mixed inches If the dough is too sticky, add more flour until it's workable.
• Form dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.
• When it's doubled in size, divide dough in half for two 12-inch crusts (or refrigerate one of them for later).
• Grease a piece of parchment paper and stretch the dough out on top of it. Place another piece of parchment on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough further to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Top the dough with a thin layer of pesto. Then add mozzarella (sliced or shredded), sliced beets, asparagus and sliced cherry tomatoes. Bake pizza on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 5-8 minutes or until crust is lightly brown.
• Remove from oven and garnish with soft-boiled eggs and arugula.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Leave root and 1 inch of stem on beet; scrub with a brush. Wrap beet in foil. Bake at 450° for 40 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven; cool. Trim off beet root; rub off skin. Cut beet in half crosswise; thinly slice halves.
• Roast potato slices and shallots (first lightly coat with EVOO and salt them) at the same time you roast the beets. Roast for about 8 minutes then toss or turn. Check again in 8 minutes.
• Position an oven rack in the lowest setting. Place a pizza stone on lowest rack.
• Increase oven temperature to 500°. Preheat pizza stone 30 minutes before baking pizza.
• Mix olive oil and crushed garlic together.
• Gently brush garlic oil over Basic Pizza Dough. Arrange cheese, beet slices, shallots, and potatoes evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
• Slide dough onto preheated pizza stone, using a spatula as a guide.
• 6. Bake at 500° for 8 minutes or until crust is golden. Remove from pizza stone. Sprinkle with salt, and drizzle with honey. Cut into 8 wedges.
• Enjoy!
