Artichoke Basille: The Chew Broccoli Rabe & Shrimp Pizza Pie Recipe Directions

1. Place a pizza stone in your oven and preheat it at 500 F.
2. To make the dough, combine water with yeast, salt, and oil. Add flour, mixing with your hands until you form a smooth ball.
3. Remove the dough ball from the mixing bowl. Add a bit of oil to the bowl, and return the dough ball. Cover it with a clean dish towel and let it rest for an hour, which should cause it to double in size.
4. Dredge shrimp with flour, knocking off any excess.
5. Heat a saute pan to medium high and add some garlic with red pepper flakes.
6. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper; saute about one minute.
7. Splash in some white wine and cook the shrimp until they curl and get pink. Take off heat and reserve.
8. Saute broccoli on medium high in olive oil for around five minutes; salt and pepper.
9. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, sauteing two more minutes.
10. Pour in chicken stock and cook two minutes to reduce; take off heat and reserve.
11. Spread the dough on a flour-dusted prep surface.
12. Arrange mozzarella evenly over the dough.
13. Add olive oil and some Pecorino Romano; salt and pepper.
14. Use a pizza peel to place the dough on the preheated pizza stone. Cook for 15 minutes.
15. Once it’s ready, spread broccoli rabe in a single layer over the pizza.
16. Top that with cooked shrimp and additional Pecorino Romano. Slice and serve.
