THIN-CRUST CAPRESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Mix the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/3 cup water and 2 tablespoons olive oil until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth ball, 1 to 2 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, toss the beans, giardiniera and brine, basil, parsley and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Slice the tomatoes, place on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt; set aside.
• Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly oiled piece of parchment paper. Slide the parchment with the dough onto an inverted baking sheet. Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic all over the dough. Sprinkle the parmesan on top. Slide onto the hot stone and bake until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven and top with the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil leaves. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the bean salad.

CAPRESE PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the oven rack at the very top setting and preheat the oven to 450 F (232C) degrees.
• Place tomatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Give them a toss. Roast until tomatoes start to burst, 9-10 minutes. Set aside. Do not turn the oven off.
• Place a sheet pan or a pizza stone on the top shelf in your oven.
• While the tomatoes are roasting make the basil mixture. To do so, place basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to break it into smaller pieces. While the machine is running, drizzle it with olive oil. You may have to scrape the sides with a spatula a few times to turn it into a paste.
• Roll the pizza dough into a 14.5-inch circle. Spread it evenly with the basil mixture leaving an inch on the sides. The basil sauce will be a very thin layer. Scatter the roasted tomatoes and mozzarella pieces on top. Lightly brush the sides with olive oil.
• Using a pizza peel or the back of a sheet pan, carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated sheet pan or pizza stone. Bake 12-14 minutes or until the cheese is totally melted and the sides turned golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle it with fresh basil. Let it rest for a few minutes, cut into 8 slices, drizzle with the balsamic reduction (if using), and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. If you're using a pizza stone or 12-inch pizza pan, lightly dust with cornmeal. (If you don't have a pizza stone or pizza pan, prepare cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and dust with cornmeal.)
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, water and 2 tablespoons of the oil until soft dough forms. Cover; let stand about 10 minutes. Pat or press dough onto stone or pizza pan into 12-inch circle, using fingers dipped in Bisquick mix. Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned around edges.
• Remove dough from oven and brush with remaining tablespoon of oil and top with sliced tomatoes. Follow with cheese slices, basil, and finish by sprinkling Parmesan across the top. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
