Pizza - Italian Salad Pizza 🇮🇹

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Post by Chowhound »

chopped-italian-salad-pizza-hero.jpg
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound pizza dough
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pinch dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 head Bibb lettuce
1 cup microgreens
½ small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
½ cup pepperoncini
1 cup drained bite-size fresh mozzarella balls

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Gently stretch the pizza dough out over the baking sheet, then use your fingers to stipple the dough further. Brush the surface with another 1 tablespoon olive oil, and let rise in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and oregano. Gradually whisk in the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Spread the ricotta in an even layer on top of the dough. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and bake until the pizza dough in golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. When the pizza is done, let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, microgreens and salad dressing. Transfer to the pizza, and garnish with an even layer of red onion, pepperoncini and mozzarella balls. Serve immediately.
