Roasted Harvest Vegetable Pizza

Crisp (or chewy) high-fiber crust, loaded with roasted vegetables, makes a colorful and delicious pizza.
Higher-fiber dough
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 ½ cups King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour
- ¾ cup Hi-maize natural fiber
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Pizza Dough Flavor
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
Topping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 to 8 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in quarters
- 6 shallots, peeled and cut in quarters
- 1 medium butternut squash, cut into ¼" pieces
- 3 to 4 new potatoes, cut in ¼" slices
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cored and cut into chunks
- 2 medium purple onions, peeled and cut into eighths
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons Pizza Seasoning or rosemary and thyme
Directions
|
1) To make the dough: Mix and knead together all of the dough ingredients—by hand, mixer or bread machine—till you've created a smooth dough. Adjust the dough consistency if needed by adding extra flour or water. |
|
2) Place the dough into a greased bowl. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 1 hour; it should become quite puffy. |
|
3) Turn the dough out onto a greased work surface, and divide it in half. |
|
4) Roll the pizza dough out as thick or thin as you like. Rolling the dough out into two 14" x 10" rectangles will yield a medium-thick crust. |
|
5) Grease two baking sheets with olive oil, and place each piece of dough on one of the pans. |
|
6) Brush the crusts lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Pizza Seasoning, or the herbs of your choice. Set aside to rise while the vegetables are cooking. |
|
7) To make the topping: Preheat the oven to 500°F. |
|
8) Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and the vegetables. Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, and toss to coat. |
|
9) Bake the vegetables for 15 minutes. Stir the vegetables and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they're beginning to get tender, and have some color on the edges. |
|
10) Remove the vegetables from the oven, and reduce the heat to 450°F. |
|
11) Layer the vegetables over the oiled and seasoned crust. Place in the oven and bake for 18 to 25 minutes, until the crust is crisp and browned. |
|
12) Serve warm. |
|
Yield: 2 pizzas, about 16 slices. |

Haven't made this and probably won't without a bit of tweaking. I love roasted veggies and cook them quite abit but this reads as being terribly dry and somewhat bland. Also,so many of your recipes depend on your specialized additives; Pizza flavoring, really?? So many yummy recipes and yet so many that resemble a food lab.
Gail - This is pizza in the foccacia style. No, you do not need pizza flavoring. If you try it, let us know what you think. Elisabeth @ KAF
