Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe Pizza Dough
  • 1 recipe Walnut, Olive, and Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade
  • 2 onions, sliced and caramelized
  • 1 can 14 ounces / 398 mL (13.5 fl oz) artichoke hearts, drained and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) roasted garlic, sliced
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL / 0.1 fl oz) fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 5 minutes before adding the tapenade and toppings.
  • The tapenade and caramelized onions can be made up to 3 days in advance to save time on pizza night.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough and divide it in half. Press each half to fit a 12-inch / 30 cm round baking tray.
  3. Spread half of the tapenade evenly over each pizza crust, leaving a small border.
  4. Distribute the caramelized onions, sliced artichoke hearts, and roasted garlic evenly between the two pizzas.
  5. For an extra crisp crust, drizzle a thin line of extra-virgin olive oil along the edge of each unbaked pizza.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges and bottom of the crusts are golden brown.
  7. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before slicing and serving hot.
  8. Add a sprinkle of vegan parmesan or crumbled feta (if not vegan) after baking for a salty, cheesy finish.
