Ingredients for Artichoke Pizza

  • Black Olives
  • Marinated Artichokes
  • Chestnut Mushrooms
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • Prepared Pizza Crust

How to Make Artichoke Pizza

  1. Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 500°F or 260°C).
  2. Prepare your pizza crusts. You can use two 12-inch pre-made crusts or your favorite homemade dough recipe (enough for two 12-inch pizzas).
  3. Evenly spread 1/2 cup of your favorite tomato sauce over each pizza crust.
  4. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each pizza.
  5. Distribute 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts (drained and quartered), and 1/2 cup of sliced olives evenly over the cheese on each pizza.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on it as oven temperatures vary.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
