broccolini pizza

Homemade broccolini pizza with almonds (optional), mozzarella and red sauce! The trick to making awesome broccolini pizza is to blanch the broccolini first. I added sliced almonds for a savory little crunch. Recipe yields two 11-inch pizzas or about 4 to 6 servings.

Broccolini Almond Pizza

easy whole wheat pizza dough or 1 pound store-bought pizza dough

pizza sauce

mozzarella cheese

½ cup (2 to 3 ounces) crumbled feta

(8 ounces) broccolini

olive oil

almonds

Optional garnishes: red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the upper third of the oven. If you’re using a baking stone or baking steel, place it in the oven on the top rack. Prepare dough through step 5.

Spread marinara sauce evenly over the two pizzas, or top with drained, crushed tomatoes (crush the tomatoes over the sink to release excess liquid). Divide the mozzarella, feta and almonds evenly over the pizzas.

To prepare the broccolini, fill a large saucepan with a few inches of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Trim off the tough ends of the broccolini. Cut any stems greater than about &frac14;&#8243; in diameter in half. Once the water is boiling, toss in the broccolini, bring back to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Drain the broccolini and pat dry on a lint-free tea towel. Then, toss the broccolini with about 1 teaspoon olive oil, until lightly coated.

Arrange the broccolini over the pizzas and sprinkle the almonds on top. Bake pizzas individually on the top rack until the crust is golden and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 12 minutes (or significantly less, if you’re using a baking stone/steel—keep an eye on it). Transfer pizza to a cutting board and sprinkle with with red pepper flakes and fresh basil, if using. Slice and serve!

What pizza dough recipe did you use?  I make artisan bread from scratch (Which is amazing!) and just haven't mastered a whole wheat pizza dough.  It's always too heavy and stiff, even though I use soft white wheat.

Wondering if you have a recipe for gluten pizza dough. I've tried Bob's Red Mills and it was too potato-y. Trader Joe's makes a fairly decent frozen GF crust, but it turns into more of a cracker. Would love to know if you have any favorites or could recommend a homemade recipe? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your site btw. I recommend it to all my friends (novice and home chefs alike).  Can't wait for the cookbook!

I was nervous about making this because I have had some traumatic experiences with yeast (think loaf of bread like hockey puck) and also with pizza dough (you know the kind that keeps shrinking back into a ball?), but it all worked out beautifully. Love the idea of nuts on pizza. Thanks so much for another  recipe!

This pizza was SO delicious !!! Putting it on my favorite list next to your cauliflower and lentil tacos!

We call it tenderstem broccoli here in the UK. it is rather good and that pizza looks amazing. Pinning this for later.

The pizza looks great and I think I'm going to give this a try. Thank you!

I made this pizza the other night and it was oh so delicious! I've never purchased broccolini before. It works so much better than regular broccoli. I like the smaller pieces for topping a pizza with. The almonds added a nice crunch as well! Simple and super tasty.

Made this tonight, and it was fantastic! I added sliced black olives, shiitake mushrooms and artichoke hearts and it was so good. We hardly have any leftovers!

This is a new favorite veggie pizza. I used a little less marinara sauce and chopped up whole almonds for the topping instead of using sliced. Delicious!

Absolutely delicious! My family made this for me for Mother's Day last night. I highly recommend it!

I've never had broccolini and almonds on my pizza. But, I tried this recipe and OMG!!!! it was delicious! My husband enjoyed it as well! This will be a go to pizza treat for us! 
Thanks Kate for sharing your recipe!
