Ingredients

  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 pound frozen pizza or bread dough thawed, or 1 pound fresh pizza dough
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano crumbled by hand
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 4 plum tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary chopped
  • 3-4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 6-ounce jar marinated artichokes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Brush 1-2 tablespoons olive oil onto a baking sheet. Press pizza dough into an 8- by 15-inch rectangle. Let dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make shallow indentations all over the dough with your fingertips, then brush dough with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt. Top with any of the ingredients listed above.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Tomato Paste Tip
  • I find it so annoying when a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and the rest goes in the garbage. A solution is to spoon 1-tablespoon portions of tomato paste onto a piece of plastic wrap. Freeze until firm. Place into zip-lock freezer bag. Store in freezer until the next time you need a tablespoon or two.
