Cheese Trio & Radicchio Pizza
The sweet and salty pancetta and three cheeses nicely set off the bitterness of radicchio in this delightful pizza. Recipe yields two pizzas.
Ingredients
- 2 balls (8 to 10 ounces each) pizza dough
- Flour as needed
- Cornmeal (optional)
- 6 ounces sundried tomatoes in herbed olive oil, julienne-cut
(reserve the olive oil)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 ounces radicchio, coarsely shredded
- 4 ounces diced pancetta, prosciutto or cooked bacon
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 ounces shredded Fontina cheese
- 2 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
Preparation
-
Pre-heat oven to 475°F.
-
Sprinkle flour on a clean smooth surface. Stretch dough using your hand or rolling pin; flatten each ball to 1/2-inch thick circle.
-
Transfer dough to spray-coated or cornmeal-dusted 12-inch pizza pans. Continue stretching to fit pans.
-
Reserve 3 tablespoons of herbed olive oil (from sundried tomatoes) in a small bowl. Blend in garlic and red pepper flakes. Brush oil onto crusts. Bake 5 to 6 minutes, just until crust begins to brown.
-
Next, top each crust with 3 ounces sundried tomatoes and half each of the radicchio, pancetta, mozzarella, Fontina and Gorgonzola.
-
Bake additional 5 to 7 minutes until cheese melts and begins to brown. Remove from oven; sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
