  • Yield

    Makes 2 to 4 servings

Ingredients

Cornmeal for sprinkling
1 cup cannellini or other white beans (from a l-lb can), rinsed
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 tablespoon fat-free chicken broth or water
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb fresh or thawed frozen pizza dough
All-purpose flour for dusting
3 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 oz low-fat soft goat cheese, crumbled
2 cups small-leaf greens such as baby arugula or mâche

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Position oven rack on lowest shelf and preheat oven to 500°F. Lightly oil a 17- by 14-inch heavy baking sheet (without sides) and sprinkle with cornmeal, tapping off excess.

    Step 2

    Pulse beans with garlic, broth, and 1 teaspoon oil in a food processor until coarsely chopped and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Dust pizza dough and your hands with flour. Holding 1 edge of dough in the air with both hands and letting bottom touch work surface, move hands around edge (like turning a steering wheel), allowing weight of dough to stretch it roughly into a 10-inch round. Flour backs of your fists and with them stretch dough from center of underside, turning dough to maintain a rough circle, until 13 to 14 inches.

    Step 4

    Place on baking sheet.

    Step 5

    Spread bean purée over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around edge. Top purée with tomatoes and onion, then sprinkle with rosemary and dot with cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 6

    Bake pizza on bottom oven rack until crust is browned and crisp and topping is bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes.

    Step 7

    Toss greens with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle over pizza.

    Step 8

    Cut pizza into 8 slices.
