How to make Primavera Pizza
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and lightly grease a pizza pan.
- Roll out your pizza dough to 12 inches (30cm). Place it on the prepared pizza pan. If you make my Quick Neapolitan Pizza Dough recipe, you will have enough dough for 2 pizzas.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the pizza dough. Sprinkle the lemon zest and minced garlic evenly over the dough. Add the grated mozzarella on the pizza. Spoon little mounds of ricotta all over the pizza, evenly spaced.
- Distribute asparagus, zucchini slices, tomatoes, and peas evenly across the pizza. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Transfer pizza to oven and bake 10-12 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling. Once removed from the oven, sprinkle on the grated parmesan cheese and serve.
How to store the Primavera Pizza
Let the baked Primavera Pizza cool completely before storing to keep the crust from becoming soggy. Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best texture and flavor. Reheat the pizza in a 375°F (190°C) oven or in a skillet until the crust becomes crisp again and the cheese is warmed through. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can soften the crust and reduce the fresh texture of the vegetables.
