Pink Beet Crust Pizza
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons dry active yeast
- 3 cups flour, plus extra
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 3/4 cup beet, cooked and pureed
- 4 tablespoons pesto sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 roasted beet, sliced
- 1 bunch asparagus, blanched
- 5 ounces cherry tomatoes
- 4 soft-boiled eggs, sliced
- 1 handful arugula
- 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.
