Ajvar Pizza
"This is a pizza that I randomly whipped up one night. It uses ajvar, a spicy Macedonian red pepper and eggplant spread that can be found in some grocery stores. The searing of the fresh tomatoes makes them easier to peel and prevents a watery pizza. I recommend using the wheat bran thick-crust pizza dough that I have also submitted, but whatever dough you usually use is fine."
Ingredients:
41 min - 4 servings - 381 cals
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 (13.8 ounce) package prepared pizza dough
- 1/2 cup ajvar spread, or more to taste
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 10 pickled hot pepper slices (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 large tomato, halved and sliced into thin wedges
- salt
Directions:
Prep: 15 min Cook: 26 min Ready In: 41 min- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with oil.
- Stretch pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly with ajvar. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, hot pepper slices, basil, and oregano on top.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomato slices and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the tomato skins. Arrange the tomatoes on the pizza and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the mozzarella cheese is fully melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
