Charred Broccoli Rabe Pizza
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 pound fresh pizza dough, at room temperature
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 pound fresh broccoli rabe, chopped (about 6 cups)
- 1 cup jarred marinara sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
- 1 ounce pecorino romano cheese, grated (about 2/3 cup)
- Hot honey, such as Mike’s (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 475°F with racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Place a large ovenproof skillet on the top rack while the oven preheats.
- Meanwhile, chop garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Smash into a paste with the flat side of a chef’s knife. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in oil.
- Dust a large-rimmed baking sheet with flour. Place pizza dough on a baking sheet and stretch it into a rectangle or oval. Brush with 1 tablespoon of garlic oil. Add broccoli rabe to bowl of garlic oil; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. Carefully add broccoli rabe to a hot skillet in the oven. Place pizza dough on the bottom rack. Bake until edges are puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.
- Remove crust from oven. Top with marinara sauce and sprinkle with crushed red pepper and mozzarella. Remove the broccoli rabe from the oven and add it to the top of the pizza. Return pizza to bottom rack and bake until cheese melts and crust is dark golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with pecorino Romano and, if desired, drizzle with hot honey.
