Ingredients:
- 330 g of ready-made whole-wheat pizza dough, at room temperature
(recipe yeast dough for pizza)
- 40 g Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup finely grated cheese)
- 85 g soft goat cheese
- 1 cup fresh leaves basilica
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tbsp and 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp corn flour
- Special spray for lubrication
- 1 large tomato
- 1/4 tsp dried pepper flakes
- 2 cups shredded pre-cooked broccoli (frozen can be used)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 245 degrees Celsius. If using frozen broccoli, defrost it first according to package instructions.
- Finely grate the Parmesan cheese and place 1/3 cup in a food processor along with the broccoli, 2/3 cup basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
While the food processor is blending the mixture, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Dust the work surface with cornmeal and, using a rolling pin and/or your hands, roll the dough into a circle with a diameter of 30 cm.
Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the dough on it. Spread broccoli pesto sauce over the dough, leaving a border to allow for a golden crust.
Top with goat cheese and then thinly sliced tomato.
- Bake the pizza for 12-14 minutes, until the cheese and tomato are softened and the crust is golden brown.
- Sprinkle the pizza with the remaining Parmesan, 1/3 cup basil, and pepper flakes. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and cut the pizza into 8 wedges.
