did you know that every friday is "pizza friday" at our house
yes i know, we are so exciting
this pizza will definitely excite you - as i am writing this i really wish i polishing off another one of these amazing pizza's
this is definitely not what you consider a normal pizza - thus allowing you to enjoy the entire pizza guilt free; well almost guilt free, it's not as if this is a magical pizza
this fall has been very mild- today we enjoyed 60 degree weather, i really can't complain
i still have arugula growing in the garden, which just so happens to make an excellent pizza topping

the dough for this amazing pizza is made from spelt flour and multi-grain rolled oats -
regular oats and flour can be substituted, if you can though try it at least once with the spelt flour
i promise you won't be disappointed

raw local honey and rosemary olive oil are also added to the crust
simple whole ingredients make a pizza you can feel good about
without sacrificing taste

i love the fact that it is the end of november and i am still lucky enough to be enjoying greens from my ever giving backyard garden
the cold nights tend to make the arugula a little less bitter or rather peppery compared to what i enjoyed during the summer months
white new potatoes are thinly sliced, like paper thin
then layered & drizzled with rosemary olive oil and honey
sprinkled with a healthy dose of kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes it doesn't get any easier than that - you are officially on your way to pizza heaven
this recipe comes together in a flash- especially when you already have the dough on hand
when making this pizza for myself i save half the dough for another day

Potato & Arugula Pizza ~ Spelt Oatmeal Crust
makes (1) 16" pizza or (2) 8" pizzas
you will need:
for the crust:
- 2 1/4 tsp yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp raw honey
- pinch salt
- rosemary olive oil
- 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 spelt flour
- 1/2 cup multi grain rolled oats
- cornmeal for dusting
- (1) small bunch arugula
- 3 small new potatoes thinly sliced (paper thin)
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- rosemary olive oil
- kosher salt
- honey
- in a medium bowl combine yeast and warm water (120 degrees)
- preheat over to 450* and set pizza stone in the oven to allow the stone to preheat
- allow to sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy/bubbly
- add salt, olive oil & honey
- with a wooden spoon gently stir in 2 cups of flour 1 cup at a time & oats
- turn dough out on a lightly floured clean surface
- knead remaining flour in a 1/4 cup at a time to prevent hands from sticking to the dough and dough from the work surface, knead for 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic
- return to a clean bowl, oiled with olive oil
- cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes or until double in size
- divide dough into 2 equal portions if making the 8" pizzas - store the unused dough (if saving) in a ziploc gallon bag and store in fridge for up to a week
- on a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with cornmeal hand stretch or roll the dough out with a rolling pin to an 8" diameter- perfection is not what you are looking for- it is suppose to look homemade
- roll up the sides of the dough to create a crust if that is your thing - i am definitely a crust girl
- drizzle the dough with rosemary olive oil
- layer the potatoes, overlapping each slightly
- sprinkle with a generous amount of salt & sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes
- drizzle with honey and a bit more olive oil
- with olive oil spray, spray the crust /edges of pizza
- transfer pizza and parchment paper directly onto the pizza stone that is pre-heated in your oven
- bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly browned and the potatoes are cooked through
- remove from oven, allow to cool for 2 minutes
- top with arugula, slice and enjoy!
Nice recipe Heather.. I think that Justin should be in the picture enjoying a slice or two...
ReplyDeleteLove you
Mom
Thanks Mom!
ReplyDelete...Justin is not a fan of "leafy" Pizzas
I never thought to make dough with oatmeal, but it sounds and looks absolutely delicious. I'll have to try it out sometime - instead of my lazy way of using Pillsbury dough.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious. Pizza dough with oats never occurred to me either, but I'll bet it's great. I love how you wrote out the recipe on the brown paper, too.
ReplyDeleteYummilicious!! Will definitely try this
ReplyDeleteParinita thanks for stopping by!
