Yield: one 12-inch (30 cm) pizza (4 servings)
INGREDIENTS
1 recipe Pizza Dough (page 37)
Cornmeal, for dusting
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled
¹⁄ cup (75 ml) pizza sauce (purchased, or
3
see Cuisinart.com for a recipe)
½ cup (125 ml) pitted Kalamata olives
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven with the rack in the middle of the oven. If you have a pizza stone or steel,
put on the rack and allow to preheat for 30 minutes while preparing the pizza.
2. Stretch pizza dough to a 12-inch (30 cm) round and put on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest while preparing the toppings.
3. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl. Put the olive oil and garlic into the work
bowl and process on High to chop the garlic. Remove the garlic/oil mixture and brush onto
the pizza crust.
4. Spread the sauce onto the pizza crust, leaving a half-inch border around the edge.
5. Remove the chopping blade and replace with the medium slicing disk. Slice the olives and
mushrooms. Scatter over the sauce. Flip the slicing disc to the medium shredding disc and
shred the mozzarella. Evenly sprinkle over the sliced mushrooms and olives.
6. Put into the hot oven, on top of the baking stone/steel if using, and bake until
the cheese is bubbly, about 12 minutes.
7. Top with a pinch of the crushed red pepper and flake sea salt, and then finish with
the
torn basil.
8. Allow to cool for a few minutes prior to slicing and serving.
