How to Make Pizza With Escarole Roasted Peppers And Olives

  1. Preheat broiler.

  3. Roll out pizza dough to a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
  4. Place dough on a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with 1 tablespoon cornmeal. Crimp edges to form a rim.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 500°F (260°C).

  7. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  8. Add chopped escarole and sauté for 2 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
  9. Spread escarole mixture evenly over the pizza crust.
  10. Top with shredded Fontina cheese, roasted pepper strips, and halved Kalamata olives.
  11. Bake for 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
