Artichoke Heart Pizza by @breadandbasil

 ¾ lb ball pizza dough
 1 jar Colavita Artichoke Hearts in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 ¾ thinly sliced smoked mozzarella
 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
 ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
 Kosher salt, to taste
 Black pepper, to taste
 1 - 2 tablespoons Colavita Premium Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 1 - 2 tablespoons Colavita Balsamic Glaze

1

Preheat the oven to your highest setting, or 500°F. If using a pizza stone, allow to preheat for at least one hour.

2

Drain the jar of Colavita Artichoke Hearts, reserving the olive oil for pizza crust. Thinly sliced artichoke hearts and set aside.

3

Stretch the pizza dough into a thin 12-inch round, using a lightly oiled pizza pan if desired to help with the shape. Brush with a generous amount of the reserved olive oil from artichoke hearts.

4

Top pizza with smoked mozzarella, sliced red onions, and sliced artichoke hearts, leaving a 1 inch border for the crust.

5

Generously dust the topped pizza with parmesan cheese and black pepper, along with a pinch of salt. Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes depending on your oven’s settings

6

Remove pizza from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before drizzling with 1-2 tablespoons of Colavita Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 1-2 tablespoons of Colavita Balsamic Glaze.

7

Slice and serve.
