jan's white pizza
Saturday night is pizza night in our house. Primarily vegetarian, am always looking for creative topping combos. Roasting brings out the sweetness in most vegetables. This is a flavor explosion! ENJOY

How To Make jan's white pizza
-
1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare or purchase a large, fresh pizza crust. Prepare garlic and cauliflower as both can be roasted at the same time. Using a serrated knife, slice off tops of the garlic head (s), approximately 1/2 inch. Place garlic heads on a piece of foil. Drizzle cut side with 1 TBS olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the head to create a pouch, completely covering. Roast for 1 hour.
-
2Wash and cut up cauliflower into flowerets only. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil, coating thoroughly. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once, until tender and edges are browning, but not charred.
-
3Once all the above have been roasted, cool to touch. Prepare your favorite pizza crust. (I make an easy one in my bread machine!). Spread the crust with a bit of olive oil. Garlic will be a smooth paste. Spread liberally on pizza dough. Top with roasted flowerets. Sprinkle mozzarella chunks liberally. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-13 minutes. (I use a pizza stone, so keep an eye on it if using a metal pan!) Remove and sprinkle with ribbons of fresh basil and bake another 1 minute. Makes a 15" pizza.
