    Author: Melissa Griffiths - Bless this Mess

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound pizza dough store-bought or homemade
    • 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon dry basil
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 12 ounces artichoke hearts the kind in a jar, drained and quartered
    • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
    • Prepare a pizza pan or cookie sheet. Set aside.
    • Roll the pizza into a 12-inch circle. Place on a pizza pan. (I used a circle cast iron pan)
    • *NOTE* If the dough feels sticky when you roll it, I like to add cornmeal instead of flour.
    • Brush some olive oil, about 2 tablespoons, on the crust/edge. Set aside.
    • In a medium-size bowl, mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, dry basil, salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until all ingredients are blended.
    • Add the quartered artichoke to the vinaigrette and mix to coat the artichoke. Set aside
    • Sprinkle the mozzarella on the pizza dough.
    • Add the seasoned artichokes on top of the mozzarella.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes or until nice and golden.
    • Serve and Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Keep the leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days
    • Rewarm in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3 to 4 minutes
    • Serve as an appetizer or as a main dish with chicken wings or green salad
    • Have fun with the recipe: Make it spicy: Add some red pepper flakes after the pizza is cooked
    • Substitute mozzarella with Smoked Gouda or a Pepper Jack for a hint of spice.
