- ⅓ cup Mezzetta Roasted Red Bell Peppers
- 3 - 4 Mezzetta Artichoke Hearts cut into pieces
- ½ cup sliced red onion
Instructions
- Warm up the almond milk in a bowl in the microwave in 20 second intervals until it's warm to the touch. It should feel like bath water and not too hot or you risk killing the yeast.1 ½ cup almond milk, 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- Sprinkle the yeast over top of the almond milk followed by the honey. Set the bowl aside for 5 - 10 minutes until the mixture has developed a foamy layer on top.1 teaspoon honey
- While the yeast is activating, whisk together the oat flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and sea salt in a large bowl. Then pour in the yeast mixture, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula. This can also be done in a stand mixer on low speed. Continue to mix until a large ball of dough forms. It will be a tad sticky which is okay.3 ⅓ cup oat flour, ⅔ cup tapioca flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 -3 tablespoon olive oil
- Place a dish towel over the bowl with the ball of dough and set aside for about 30 minutes to let it rise. Keep the bowl in a warm place like next to the oven in the kitchen.
- While the dough is rising, make the whipped feta by adding the feta, olive oil, almond milk, and garlic to the food processor. Blend until the the mixture is running smoothly in the blender. You will probably need to stop it and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure it all gets mixed in. The feta spread should look airy and creamy with a "fluffy" texture. Set aside while you roll out the dough.10 oz feta, ½ cup olive oil, 3 -4 tablespoon almond milk, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Go ahead and preheat the oven to 450 F. On a working surface, lay out a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle a little additional tapioca flour on top. Place the ball of dough on the surface and roll it out into an "ovular" shape with a rolling pin. If needed, sprinkle more tapioca flour on the dough. Roll it out to about ½ inch in thickness. If you find it's too dry and is crumbling, add a little olive oil and work it into the dough and then roll it out.
- Use the palms of your hands to shape the crust into an oval. Use your fingers along the way to "pinch" the sides upward to make a lip. Brush the sides of the crust with olive oil.
- Spread the whipped feta inside the pizza crust. Make sure to leave room around the edges as the feta will melt in the oven and you don't want it to flow over the edge of the crust. Place the toppings over the feta spread and bake the pizza in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the feta spread is toasted. If desired, turn the oven up to broil for a minute or two at the end to achieve toasted speckles on the feta spread. Be sure to watch it carefully as it will burn quickly on broil⅓ cup Mezzetta Roasted Red Bell Peppers, 3 - 4 Mezzetta Artichoke Hearts, ½ cup sliced red onion
- Once the pizza is done, sprinkle with fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, and extra olive oil if desired. Slice into pieces and enjoy!
