Pizza Bianca and the Crowd Went Wild

So Pizza
This was a real hit.
The crowd went wild
A Pizza Bianca
It is so nice to make a pizza without the usual tomato base. A dollop of sour cream, a good grate of Parmesan, smothered with caramelized onions and topped with prawns.
Beautiful
Make the pizza dough as per recipe here 

This recipe makes 2 pizza bases


Meanwhile Prep...
2 med onions sliced
½ yellow pepper sliced
Sauté in 2 tablespoons olive oil
Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, ½ tsp of sugar
And the leaves of 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme
Cook altogether till onions and pepper are soft and melting
Cool


Take 12 prawns
Add 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
Zest of 1 lemon finely grated
Toss with olive oil, sea salt, pepper and a little chili flakes
Set aside


3 tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese
Heat oven to 200C
To assemble

Line a greased pan with Pizza Dough
Spread it with sour cream and grated Parmesan
Layer on the onion mix
Dob prawns on top
Another grind of black pepper, to finish off

Into oven, it should take about 10 minutes depending on your oven.

We all gobbled that up and meanwhile I had popped Pizza number 2 into the oven
I am a big fan of Pizza Marguerita, using fresh tomatoes
Just seasoned tomatoes and beautifully melted cheese
Once again, can’t get more simple than this

Take 3 med tomatoes, chop roughly
Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Rip up 6-8 basil leaves
Add to tomatoes
Pour over pizza base
Cover with strips of mozzarella cheese
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over... and bake once again till base is brown and cheese bubbling.

Yumo.
