Three Pepper Artichoke Feta Pizza Food

ARTICHOKE AND FETA CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut artichokes into 1/2-inch pieces. Sprinkle baking sheet with yellow cornmeal. Unroll pizza crust dough onto prepared baking sheet; press out dough to 11-inch square. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon reserved marinade. Top dough with artichokes, plum tomato slices, crumbled herb-seasoned feta cheese and sweet onion slices. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon marinade.
• Bake pizza until crust is crisp and golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with mint. Cut pizza into 4 squares and serve.

WARM FETA DIP WITH ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the artichoke hearts, feta, mayonnaise, Parmesan, pimientos and garlic until thoroughly combined. Transfer the mixture to a small casserole or glass pie plate and bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. To serve, place the dish on a larger platter and surround with pita chips.

PESTO PIZZA WITH FETA AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• For the dough: Mix the sugar and yeast in 1 1/2 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F).
• Let sit until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the olive oil. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast mixture with the flour and salt and mix on low until smooth.
• Switch to the dough hook and knead on medium, adding a little more flour or water if needed, until the dough forms a loose, sticky ball around the hook. Increase the speed to medium-high and knead until the dough is soft, smooth and springy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Put the dough in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• For the topping: Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic and 3 cups of the arugula. Process to make a chunky paste. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and process until smooth. Add the Parmesan and pulse just until incorporated. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
• When the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with a baking stone on the bottom rack.
• Punch down the dough. Brush an 18-by-13-inch rimmed half-sheet pan liberally with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the pan and press it all the way into the corners (it helps to cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap while pressing so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers).
• Bake on the preheated stone until the dough has puffed and just begins to color, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the oven, loosen from the baking sheet with a metal spatula and brush lightly with olive oil. (The crust can be baked ahead to this point and topped and finished in the oven later, if desired.)
• Spread the pesto on the dough almost to the edges. Top with the mozzarella, feta, artichokes, cooked bacon and jalapeno slices.
• Bake on the top rack until the cheese is browned and crusty, about 8 minutes more.
• In a large bowl, toss the remaining 3 cups arugula with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the jalapeno brine. Season with salt and pepper and scatter over the pizza. Cut into squares to serve.
