White Pizza with Broccoli
Who doesn't love pizza!? My favorite kind of pizza has a white creamy sauce! This white pizza with broccoli is quick and easy to make and better yet, it's kid approved! It was garlicky, creamy, and I feel like the broccoli adds a unique touch! This is a vegetarian pizza, but you could also add some chicken or whatever else you like!
Ingredients
For the Pizza:
- 1 lb pizza dough ball
- 5 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 1 ½ cups broccoli florets blanched for one minute
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella ball sliced into rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
For the Sauce:
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For Serving:
- Freshly grated parmesan
- Crushed red pepper
- Black pepper
- Parsley
Instructions
To blanch the broccoli:
- Take a small saucepan about halfway filled with water, bring to a boil.
- Drop broccoli in and boil for one minute.
- Transfer broccoli to an ice bath to stop the cooking, drain, and set aside until ready to use.
To make the pizza:
- Whisk all spices in a small bowl until combined.
- Preheat oven to 400℉
- Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil in large bowl, place dough ball inside, roll around and flip to coat dough ball, then put a damp paper towel on the bowl and let sit out for an hour.
- Take out dough and gently spread out onto round baking sheet. I just used my fingers for this. My pizza ended up being about 14 inches.
- Poke a couple of holes in the dough with a fork.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil onto the pizza, spreading evenly with the back of a spoon to cover the pizza.
- Spread the ricotta evenly around, then sprinkle the spices around. Add garlic first, so it doesn't burn.
- Lay the mozzarella around the pizza evenly then top with broccoli.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is melty!
- Wait a few minutes before slicing pizza and serving! Enjoy with toppings of your choice!
