White pizza with burrata, dried chilies & ramp (or chive) oil
Pizza
Italian cuisine
I have a small bottle of ramp oil, it is sitting in my fridge, its the color of liquid emeralds, it's been begging for something amazing, amazing like....Burrata. My original thought was to do a wild mushroom calzone with burratta and white truffle oil, which would be dizzying in its umami-ness. But then I thought about the ramp oil and a bit of spice and that was it. AHA I've got it. You could probably make mini pizzas for starters, or individuals. If you haven't any burratta, substitute fresh mozzarella + equal amounts ricotta and marscapone, also up the salt a wee bit. Oh I don't usually make my own pizza dough, really I haven't the time or the space or frankly the patience. I buy dough, sometimes from the bakery down the block (when I can get there in time), sometimes the Acme, or Whole Foods or Trader Joes. Where ever I happen to be. I keep a few balls in the freezer for emergencies and whether I buy fresh or I defrost I let them sit in a warm place under a clean towel in an olive oil coated bowl for at least 45 minutes before shaping so the yeast can get active again. - Aliwaks
