Antipasto Vegetarian Pizza
This Antipasto Vegetarian Pizza is a filling appetizer pizza that we recreated after visiting a local restaurant in the Boise area. It’s piled high with lots of yummy veggies, cheese and the most glorious garlic cream sauce made from scratch. If you’re looking for a fun dinner idea for a date night in, a girls’ night meal or just a relaxing Friday night with the family, try this recipe. Tastes way better than take-out and can be made in just about the same amount of time as waiting for pizza delivery.
Homemade Pizza Crust
Making pizza dough from scratch is actually really easy and it tastes so much better than anything you can find at the grocery store. Try our recipe for our Homemade Pizza Dough and see for yourself. Roll it out as thick or thin as you like. My husband loves a really thin crust pizza, so I opt for a thin crust and a thicker one for me and the children. You can even use it to make breadsticks or cheesy bread to go along with your pizza using the same recipe.
Garlic Sauce for Pizza
The star of this antipasto pizza is the creamy garlic sauce that you smooth all over the dough instead of tomato sauce. Simple ingredients blend together in no time to make a rich, delicious sauce that gives the pizza flavorful depth and warmth. Here’s all you need:
Lots of fresh garlic. I like to use at least three or four good sized cloves, enough to make a couple of teaspoons of minced garlic. Make sure to watch your garlic as it cooks so it doesn’t burn.Butter and Flour to create a roux, which will help the sauce thicken.FlourMilk. For this recipe try to use whole milk or at least 2% to get that creamy texture for the sauce.A few shakes of dried oregano and basil. You can use fresh if you have it on hand, which would be delicious.Salt and pepper to taste.
