Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoon olive oil

  • 1 pound purchased fresh pizza dough, at room temperature

  • 2 anchovy filets

  • 1 head escarole, washed, cored, and chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 cup chopped broccoli florets

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)

  • cup crumbled feta cheese

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ¼ cup pitted olives, halved or coarsely chopped

  • lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tsp. olive oil. Using fingertips, stretch pizza dough into an oval as large as the pan, allowing dough to rest as necessary.

  2. Add 1 tsp. olive oil to a skillet over medium; add anchovies, stirring to break into small pieces. Add escarole and garlic; cook 2 minutes or until escarole is wilted.

  3. Spread mixture evenly over dough; top with broccoli, mozzarella, feta, tomatoes, and olives. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until mozzarella is melted and bubbling, and crust edges are crisp and golden brown.

  4. If you like, top pizza with lemon zest, crushed red pepper, and/or a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges. Serves 4.

Tips

If desired, top with browned and crisped diced salami or thinly sliced proscuitto before baking.
