kcalIngredients
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Whole-wheat flour, for work surface
1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 cup (4 ounces) grated haloumi cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 cups baby arugula
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Prepare the Tomatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, until they are blistered and fragrant.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the whole-wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet, pressing it gently to fit.
- Add Toppings: Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven. Spread the haloumi cheese over the pizza crust, then distribute the roasted tomatoes, pine nuts, and chopped kalamata olives evenly over the top.
- Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Finish with Arugula: In a bowl, toss the baby arugula with red-wine vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. After removing the pizza from the oven, top it with the dressed arugula.
