\"\"There is nothing quite like a good Avocado Toast. Am I right? \u00a0These days, it\u2019s all the rage and it seems like there is no end to what can be done to gourmet it up! \u00a0My favorite is with a runny egg and some red pepper flakes and, of course with a good sprinkling of flaky sea salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

At home I\u2019ll add whatever I might have around: \u00a0chopped tomatoes, cilantro, fresh mozzarella, or bacon etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"

A nice piece of toasted artisan bread, fresh avocado, an over easy egg yolk, some lightly fried prosciutto and a drizzle of chili oil and some sea salt and pepper. Fantastico!<\/p><\/div>\n

What is that other ingredient that elevates a “good” avocado toast into the “GREAT” category? \u00a0It\u2019s the bread. \u00a0The toast! \u00a0For me, the best avocado toast has to be set up on a beautiful piece of bread with a firm and crispy crunchy crust. \u00a0A beautiful country dough or sourdough loaf make the best, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019ve been thinking about Avocado Toast lately and I came around to realizing that what\u2019s good on toast is gonna be as good, or maybe even better, on a pizza \u2013 especially out of my wood fired oven!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Pizza:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sliced\/cubed Avocado<\/p>\n

Sliced\/chopped cherry tomatoes<\/p>\n

Calabrese Salami *Super-extra thin slices from the deli!<\/p>\n

Olive Oil<\/p>\n

Sea Salt\/Pepper<\/p>\n

Chili Oil, Red Pepper Flakes, or fresh chopped Chilies<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

*Looks like the start of a killer guacamole! But wait, there’s more….
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

I considered tossing the pizza dough into the oven with just olive oil on top and then topping the whole thing when it came out of the oven. This is still a great idea and is basically the process of making an Avocado Toast on a pizza dough. \u00a0This would add some nice texture, mimicking the warm crunchy bread, with the cool fresh avocado and other toppings finishing it off. \u00a0A true Avocado Toast ‘d Pizza.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"

Doesn’t it already look fresh and delicious?!<\/p><\/div>\n

But, I had a different idea that that I ran with on this one. I had made some avocado toasts recently and, after slicing the avocado, I added sliced cherry tomatoes \u2013 it started to look like a guacamole, but without the onions and spices. I decided that the combination of avocados, tomatoes and a drenching of olive oil with a sprinkling of sea salt and pepper would make a nice base layer which would be both a sauce and a topping.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Making the “toast”!<\/p><\/div>\n

To add a little sumthin-sumthin<\/em> extra, how about some type of spicy salted pork? In this instance, I tore up super-extra thin pieces of a Calabrese-salami to add a little pop of salt and spice.<\/p>\n

Into the oven it went.<\/p>\n

This really came out nice! \u00a0What a beautiful pizza!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"To finish it off, I added cool buffalo mozzarella, torn into pieces and spread across the pizza.<\/p>\n

Note: I decided to place the mozzarella onto the pizza after it came out of the oven. I love adding cool ingredients to top a hot pizza. At home, my family almost always adds some cool mozzarella strips on top of a hot pizza, even if it\u2019s just a cheese pizza! The cool mozzarella slowly starts to melt, remaining cool and firm at the top while warming and melting at the bottom.
\nAdding cool, chopped or sliced cherry tomatoes after the bake is also a way to bring the hot and cool elements together, the contrast enhancing the overall experience.<\/em>
\n
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drizzle the finished pizza with some chili oil, red pepper flakes, or maybe add some diced chilis.<\/p>\n

Suggestion: \u00a0I used a basic Neapolitan dough for this pizza, but a sourdough or even Peter\u2019s Country Pizza Dough may be a nice way to pay even more of an homage to the original inspiration: Avocado Toast!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
