Pizza Bianca Recipes

Jennifer S. and Tori G. made us the most incredible pizzas at our recent Relief Society Retreat. Flavorful and rustic, slices disappeared even faster than the chocolate brownies!

See their mouthwatering recipes below:

Jennifer S.'s Pizza Bianca with Prosciutto and Asparagus

1 (1 lb) bag refrigerated ready to bake pizza dough . Or you can make your own pizza dough

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup Quattro Formaggio shredded cheese

4 slices prosciutto, cut into 2 or 3 inch pieces

1/2 cup fresh or froze asparagus spears, thawed, and cut diagonally into 3- inch- pieces

2 Tbsp shaved parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan) cheese

1/4 cup Dry toasted Pignolias (pine nuts)

1/4 tsp black pepper

1) preheat oven to 500 degress F preferably with a pizza stone inside

2) roll dough into a 10- inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Drizzle oil and rub evenly over dough

3) Sprikle shredded cheese onto dough. Arrange prosciutto and asparagus pieces evenly over dough. Top with Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and black pepper.
4) Transfer to pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until crust is golden. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tori G.'s Bianca Pizza

1 bag Trader Joes pizza dough
1 package prosciutto
1/2 bag arugula
1/2 cup shredded parmesan (or any sharp Italian cheese)
1 large mozzarella ball, sliced thinly
2 tsp olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Roll out pizza dough on stone or cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 7 minutes before adding any toppings. This will help ensure that your crust has a nice crunch to it when you are all done. Take the crust out of the oven and drizzle with olive oil. Use the back of a spoon to spread it around to the edges of the dough. Sprinkle the entire pizza with a layer of shredded parmesan. This takes the place of the sauce, so it can be as much or as little parmesan as you want. Next, layer the entire pizza with strips of prosciutto and top with mozzarella slices. Bake again for another 7-10 minutes, until the edges of the crust and cheese are golden. When you take the pizza out, top it with the arugula and sprinkle remaining parmesan on top. Enjoy!
