Ingredients
2 fresh pizza doughs (store-bought)
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 zucchini
1 can Mutti tomato sauce for pizza
Handful of baby potatoes
2 artichoke hearts chopped into 1/8 slices
1/4 cup pitted green Castelvetrano Olives
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary
salt & pepper
1/4 cup e.v.o. oil
Handful washed fresh basil
1 tsp fleur de sel
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425° F.
- Flour a work surface and begin to stretch and roll dough.
- Stretch it into a round until you get about a less than 1/4 inch thickness.
- Dough will be an oval shape and about 12 inches at its largest part.
- Take a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter and cut out rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
- Do not place in a warm oven.
- While pizzette are rising, wash and grate zucchini, and squeeze excess water out. Place in a bowl and set aside
- Peel and wash baby potatoes. Slice potatoes into thin rounds. Place in a bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper and some crushed dried rosemary. Toss well and set aside
- In a bowl pour in Mutti pizza sauce, drizzle in some extra virgin olive oil, stir and set aside.
- Take baking sheets of pizzette and divide into as close as you can 5 equal groups, then press thumb into the middle of the pizzette creating a little indentation
- For one group take potato rounds and place a few on the pizzette, drizzle with a touch of olive oil on top, and sprinkle with Fleur de Sel.
- Second group, place some grated zucchini on the pizzette, the grated mozzarella, a sprinkle of fleur de sel, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Third group, spoon some of the pizza sauce into the middle of the pizzette, spread it a bit with a teaspoon, leaving the border without sauce, top with some shredded mozzarella and a basil leaf. Finish with some olive oil on top
- Fourth group, spoon some of the pizza sauce into the middle of the pizzette. Place some shredded mozzarella and top with artichoke and green olives.
- Fifth group, spoon some of the pizza sauce in the middle of the pizzette, spread it a bit with a teaspoon, leaving the border without sauce, sprinkle with dried oregano and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Place Pizzette onto middle rack bake for 5-10 minutes or until you see edges start to turn golden brown. Check on them, as your oven may bake differently. You don’t want them too brown at the bottom.
- If you want more sizzle, finish baking on broil for a couple minutes, continually checking to make sure they don’t burn.
- Take out of oven and place on a serving platter.
TIPS
- Take into account 30 minutes to proof the Pizzette. If you have a large oven you could place two baking sheets full and cut your bake time considerably.
- If you like a thicker crust you can stretch the dough less but take into account that the numbers will be less.
- The toppings are really up to you. These are the classic Italian assortments, but you let your own creativity flourish.
