•1 to taste Kosher salt and pepper
•8 ounces prepared pizza dough
•6 ounces scamorza cheese or smoked mozzarella
•½ small red onion
•½ cup grated Parmesan
•1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
•1 tablespoon drained capers

Cooking Instructions

1.

10 min
2.
Gently stretch dough into a 16x12" oval and transfer to a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. (If dough springs back, cover and let rest 10 minutes, then stretch again, resting as needed.) Brush with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and bake until dry and golden, about 5 minutes (this prevents dough from getting soggy once the toppings are added). Remove from oven; top with cheese, reserved celery root, onion, Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon oregano.

3.
Bake pizza, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until cheese is melted, celery root is tender, and crust is golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Top with capers and more oregano; season with sea salt and pepper.
