INGREDIENTS

• DOUGH
• 1 1/4 oz. pkg. active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water (approx. 110°F)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Nonstick pan coating
• TOPPING
• 1/2 cup roasted peppers
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, halved
• 2 tsp olive oil, divided
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 4 Campari tomatoes (about 8 ounces)
• 8 stalks asparagus, woody ends trimmed
• 1 1/2 cups arugula

DIRECTIONS

• Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add oil.
• Sift flour and salt onto a work surface and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the center of the well and mix with fingertips until all the liquid has been incorporated. Knead until smooth.
• Spritz a bowl with nonstick pan coating. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to coat entire surface with the pan spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Roll dough into an oblong shape and place on an inverted jelly roll pan or pizza stone.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Puree peppers, shallot, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, and spices in a blender or small food processor. Spread pureed pepper mixture over the dough. Slice the tip of each tomato; squeeze out seeds. Slice each tomato in half and arrange single layer over the pureed pepper. Toss asparagus in the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then place on pizza. Bake 15 minutes. Top baked pizza with arugula and shaved Parmesan.
