Asparagus and Arugula Pizza Recipe makes homemade dough using yeast, olive oil and wheat flour and topping using peppers, shallot, garlic, basil, red pepper flakes, Campari tomatoes, asparagus and arugula.


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
1: Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add oil.
 
2: 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.
 
3: 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.
 
4: 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.
