Summer Scallops & Veggies Pizza
- 1 premade pizza dough
- Cornmeal
For the Sauce:
- 1 T unsalted butter
- 2 T flour
- ¾ C buttermilk
- ¼ t sea salt
- ⅛ t black pepper
- 1 garlic clove (grated)
- ¼ C Atwells Gold cheese (grated)
For the toppings:
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 1 medium zucchini (in ¼” slices)
- 1 ear of corn (removed from cob)
- 4 oz scallops (quartered)
- ¼ t basil (minced)
- Lay out ingredients
-
Preheat oven to 500°
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth. Continue to whisk while roux sets up, approximately 2 minutes.
- Reduce saucepan to low heat, and slowly add buttermilk, stirring until smooth with each addition.
- Once all buttermilk has been added, add garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Allow to bubble for 1 minute while whisking.
- Remove the pan from heat, and add cheese.
- Dust counter service with cornmeal, and roll out pizza dough into a 12” circle. Roll up the corners to create the edges of the crust.
- Distribute sauce evenly on the crust. Feel free to improvise on the total amount of sauce used, to your tastes.
- Add zucchini, corn, scallops, and basil, evenly distributed on the pizza.
- Bake the pizza (ideally on a pizza stone) for 6 minutes.
- Remove pizza from the oven, and add burrata. Burrata can be shredded up and evenly distributed, left as a ball in the middle, or a mix of those!
- Cook for 2-3 additional minutes, until scallops are completely white and cooked through.
- Serve pizza with additional grated Atwell’s Gold Cheese, sea salt, and minced basil to taste.
