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 mache

Method

  • Position oven rack on lowest shelf and preheat oven to 500F.
  • Lightly oil a 17- by 14-inch heavy baking sheet (without sides) and sprinkle with cornmeal, tapping off excess.
  • Pulse beans with garlic, broth, and 1 teaspoon oil in a food processor until coarsely chopped and season with salt and pepper.
  • 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.
  • Place on baking sheet.
  • Spread bean puree over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around edge.
  • Top puree with tomatoes and onion, then sprinkle with rosemary and dot with cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake pizza on bottom oven rack until crust is browned and crisp and topping is bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Toss greens with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle over pizza.
  • Cut pizza into 8 slices.
