If you know someone who doesn't like beets, this pizza might convert them. Serve it as a first course. You'll only need half of the Homemade Pizza Dough recipe; save the rest for another use. Ingredients:
1 (4-ounce) golden beet |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 (10-inch) basic pizza dough |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese |
1/4 cup vertically sliced shallots |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon honey |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. 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.
3. Position an oven rack in the lowest setting. Place a pizza stone on lowest rack.
4. Increase oven temperature to 500°. Preheat pizza stone 30 minutes before baking pizza.
5. Gently brush oil over Basic Pizza Dough. Arrange cheese, beet slices, and shallots 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.
