Makes: 1 (12- to 14-inch) pizza
Cost: $15

Equipment

  • Cutting board and knife
  • Large rimmed baking sheet or baking stone/steel
  • Pizza peel (optional)
  • Rolling pin (optional)

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons prepared creamy horseradish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 1 (14- to 16-ounce) ball pizza dough
  • 6 to 8 ounces sliced deli roast beef
  • 6 to 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 (8-ounce) carton beef broth (1 cup)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F (if using a baking sheet) or as high as it will go (if using a baking stone/steel; place the stone/steel in the bottom third of the oven before you start preheating). Let the oven preheat for at least 30 minutes. Then, if you’re using a baking stone or steel, switch the oven to Broil on high.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the horseradish sauce and cream. Set aside.
  • Stretch or roll out your dough to a 12- to 14-inch circle, then transfer it to a baking sheet / pizza pan or a lightly floured pizza peel (if using a baking stone/steel).
  • Spread the sauce on the dough, leaving a ½-inch border all around. Arrange the roast beef on top, then the sliced cheese.
  • Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is golden around the edges and evenly browned on the bottom—8 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet, 6 to 8 minutes on the baking stone/steel.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and top it with the fresh parsley. Pour the beef broth into a ramekin or small bowl and microwave it until it's warm, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Slice the pizza and serve it with the broth for dipping.
