Wholemeal Pizza Bianca with Tenderstem® broccoli & Red Pepper Sauce
Method
-
Begin by making the pizza dough. Combine the flour, 30g of the grated parmesan, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Mix together 200ml warm water and the oil and pour almost all of it into the bowl, mixing with your hands as you go. Add as much of the rest of the water as you need to form a sticky dough. Tip onto a floured work surface and knead for a few minutes, so it comes together and feels elastic. Cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
-
Meanwhile, make the red pepper sauce. Grill the peppers or, if you are feeling confident, over a gas hob until charred. Leave until cool enough to handle, then remove the skin, seeds and any remaining stalk. Blitz the peppers in a food processor along with the garlic, chilli, almonds and vinegar. With the motor running, gradually add the olive oil until you have a dressing-like sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Place the Tenderstem® broccoli in a large pan of salted boiling water. Cook until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Refresh under cold water, drain thoroughly and set aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC/gas mark 6.
-
Divide the dough into two and roll out on a floured work surface into two rounds, so it’s about the thickness of a pound coin. Place each round on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper and leave for a further 15 minutes until beginning to poof up.
-
Combine the cream, mozzarella and remaining parmesan with a little seasoning. Spread over the pizzas and sprinkle over the rosemary. Top with the Tenderstem® broccoli and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and the veg is starting to crisp up. Top with the rocket and drizzle with the red pepper sauce just before serving.
