Preparation
Caponata
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and spread them over the baking sheet. Cook for 45 minutes and stir a few times while the mixture bakes.
Pizzas
Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
Place the racks at the bottom third and top third of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the pizza dough in 4 and roll out into circles. Put 2 crusts on each baking sheet. Garnish with the following ingredients in order: the sauce, the Parmesan, the Caponata, and the slices of bocconcini.
Bake for approximately 12 minutes and switch the sheets halfway through to ensure uniform baking.
Tips
Get a head start: The caponata can be made 2 days in advance.
Practical tips: Replace the pizzas with 4 pieces of naan bread and reduce the baking time to 10 minutes.
Tips: To prepare the tomatoes, put them in boiling water for 1 minute and then plunge into ice water. The skin will come off easily. Cut the tomatoes in 4 and remove the seeds. Dice.
Replace the Canadian Bocconcini with shredded Canadian Mozzarella.
For a flavour twist: Add a few cubes of chorizo or pancetta before baking the pizzas.
Children can help too: Children can garnish their own pizzas.
