Smoked Scamorza Pizza
with Vegetables
In Great Shape
This Smoked Scamorza Pizza is to die for. Scamorza cheese, which is aged mozzarella, is delicious by itself let alone on top of a pizza. Add artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and black olives and your ready for a great taste experience.
I love shaping the pizza in an oval shape like my Grandmother did. It seems to give the pizza a more rustic, traditional style. If I had a built in pizza oven I’d be in business. Once you perfect the pizza dough recipe, the rest is easy.
For this recipe I like to knead roasted garlic right into the dough instead of spreading it on top. This way you get a the great taste of garlic with every bite. Just don’t talk to anybody the rest of the day. My favorite saying is "A clove a day keeps everyone away".
So here’s my recipe for Smoked Scamorza Pizza. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
