- 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
- 12 ounces store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
- 1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 teaspoons sliced garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 6 ounces sliced low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces fresh broccolini, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup pitted black olives, halved lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle the cornmeal in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place the dough in the skillet; press gently to cover the bottom and 1 inch up the side. Cook over medium, 8 minutes, until the dough bubbles and the bottom begins to brown.
Top the dough while it cooks with the tomatoes and garlic. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon
each of the salt and pepper. Top evenly with the mozzarella. Toss the broccolini with the oil and the remaining salt and pepper; arrange over the mozzarella. Top with the olives.
Bake in oven until the crust
is golden and the cheese begins to brown, about 18
minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with the red pepper.

VERDICT: I made this while Dad, Connie and John were gardening--super-easy and better than it had any right to be--kind of a non-goopy deep-dish. The broccolini got crispy and delicious, and the olives were delicious and salty and savory. Keep!
