  • Prep Time 30 minutes
  • Total Time 55 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 4 steamed artichokes
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
    • 1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough
    • 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
    • 2 plum tomatoes, thiny sliced crosswise
    • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
    • 3 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler
    • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Use a paring knife to trim away all of the artichokes' fibrous leaves and chokes so only the hearts remain. Slice the hearts thinly crosswise. In a small bowl, toss artichoke hearts with lemon juice.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Stretch dough on prepared sheet and brush with oil, making sure to coat edges well. Scatter spoonfuls of ricotta over dough. Top with tomatoes, artichokes, olives, and 3/4 of the Pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake pizza until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Top cooked pizza with basil and reserved Pecorino.
