    From the Test Kitchen

    To create this crowd-pleaser, you’ll bake chewy focaccia bread under layers of aromatic tomato sauce, melty mozzarella, and tender zucchini. Spoonfuls of our basil pesto and pickled peppers bring bright, punchy flavor in every bite. A side of cauliflower steaks drizzled with homemade hot honey finishes the meal with a bit of gourmet flair.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients & season the tomato sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & season the tomato sauce

    Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove the leaves of the cauliflower; cut lengthwise through the stem into 1-inch-thick steaks (keeping them as intact as possible). Halve the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve the bread. Roughly chop the peppers. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Place in a medium bowl; add the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.

    Roast the cauliflower
    2 Roast the cauliflower

    Place the cauliflower steaks on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Gently turn to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 25 to 27 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

    Cook the zucchini
    3 Cook the zucchini

    Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced zucchini; season with salt, pepper, and the oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Turn off the heat.

    Assemble & bake the pizza

    Place the halved bread on a separate sheet pan, cut side up. Evenly top both halves with the seasoned tomato sauce, cooked zucchini, cheese (tearing into small pieces before adding), and chopped peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 19 to 21 minutes, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Carefully transfer to a cutting board.

    Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the honey (kneading the packet before opening), 1 teaspoon of warm water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the cauliflower to be. Remove the plastic lining between the slices of prosciutto. Evenly top the baked pizza with the pesto and prosciutto (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding). Cut into equal-sized pieces. Serve the finished pizza with the roasted cauliflower on the side. Top the cauliflower with the hot honey. Enjoy!
