PESTO-HEIRLOOM TOMATO PIZZA

I've already admitted that I'm usually too lazy to make pizza dough from scratch, what with good, natural brands of prepared crust so widely available. Once in a blue moon, though, I like to indulge; it's really not that difficult. The whole wheat recipe here is one I've relied on for years when those blue moons come along.

Steps:

  • Combine the first five ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is evenly combined yet still coarse in texture. You may need to add the spinach in batches if your processor has a small or medium-size container.
  • Stop the machine and season the mixture gently with salt and pepper; taste to see if you'd like to add more lemon juice, then pulse a few times to mix.
  • Bake pizza dough rounds in a preheated 425°F oven for 15 minutes, until crust is golden.
  • Spread pizza crust with pesto, then load up with sliced heirloom tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with plenty of thinly sliced basil leaves. Some Vegan Parmesan-style cheese and fresh oregano leaves would add a nice touch, too. This can be served at room temperature.

1 to 2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
1/2 to 1 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves, or to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon or 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice, or more to taste
1/2 cup walnut halves or shelled unsalted pistachios or 1/4 cup pine nuts (omit nuts if you'd like a less caloric pesto)
6 ounces baby spinach, arugula, watercress, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Whole-Wheat Pizza Crust
Heirloom tomatoes, sliced, to taste (preferably a mix of yellow and red varieties)
Basil leaves, thinly sliced, for topping
Vegan Parmesan-style cheese and fresh oregano for topping (optional)

SUMMER HERB PESTO

A fresh tasty pesto you can make with herbs right from the garden. Delicious tossed with pasta, spread on a sandwich or as a dip for veggies. Pesto will keep stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to one week. Pesto can also be frozen and stored for up to one month.

  • Combine the flour, olive oil, yeast, salt and water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together. Increase the speed to medium-low and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • When the dough has risen, punch it down and place it on a lightly floured surface. Cut in half and roll each part into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp kitchen towel and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes (the dough will rise a bit).
  • Meanwhile, set an oven rack in the bottom position and preheat the oven to 500°F. Sprinkle the cornmeal on an 18x13-inch baking sheet; set aside. Cut the tomatoes crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the juices.
