ROASTED GARLIC, CHICKEN AND SPINACH WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut head of garlic, about 1/4-inch, to expose tops of garlic cloves. Place garlic head, cut side up, in a sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil and cover tightly. Place into oven and roast until cloves are golden brown and tender, about 35-40 minutes. Let cool before squeezing cloves from skin; reserve and mince 8 garlic cloves.* Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Stir in spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes; season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, thyme, oregano, basil and reserved garlic cloves; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Top with mozzarella, dollops of ricotta mixture, chicken and spinach. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted. Serve immediately.

GARLIC WHITE PIZZA W/ CHICKEN AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• 1. For the crust: In a bowl, measure 2 cups warm water ( not hot) 110 - 115 F. Dissolve the yeast in water and add the sugar. Set aside. I use my kitchenaid mixer with dough hook. If you don't have, mix in a large bowl by hand. Put the flour, oil and salt in the bowl, attach dough hook, blend the flour, salt and oil; add the yeast water, mix until forms a ball.
• 2. Knead until smooth and elastic, add more flour if dough is sticky , this should not be dry but firm until a ball forms. Let rise in a large bowl covered with a wet towel.. until doubled in size in warm spot.. away from draft.
• 3. In a skillet, saute seasoned chicken in olive oil till cooked through. Set aside.
• 4. Mix ricotta with 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, tablespoon parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• 5. Mince the garlic, add to the butter and oil. Microwave for about a minute; just until butter is melted and garlic starts releasing flavor. Set aside.
• 6. When the dough has risen. Cut in half unless halving the recipe. I make the full recipe and make 2 pizza's. Grease round pizza pan or jelly roll pan. I used both, and I add corn meal for added crunchiness. Up to you.
• 7. Spread out dough with oiled fingers. With a pastry brush; evenly spread garlic butter over the crust. Next season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, basil, red pepper flakes ( optional)
• 8. Next parmesan cheese. Then dollops of ricotta mixture if using ( it really is good). Then layer chicken evenly. Next the mozzarella. Vegetables and more seasonings if desired. **** This picture is with chicken and cheeses and onion only.
• 9. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until desired crispness. This picture was cheeses, onion, red bell pepper, chicken and mushrooms. Yum!
• 10. This pizza is wonderful without the chicken and veggies. I hope you try it, it really is a delicious change from traditional pizza.
• 11. Remember: Fresh dough is always best.
