Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1 Apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as the oven preheats.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using a pizza stone, transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper lightly dusted with cornmeal.
Brush the rolled-out pizza dough evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dough.
Arrange the thinly sliced apple over the cheese in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping the slices.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the apple slices.
Season the pizza with fresh thyme leaves, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of cracked black pepper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the top for a touch of sweetness.
If not using parchment paper, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal and carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated pizza stone. If using a parchment paper transfer, slide the parchment with the pizza onto the stone.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Apple Cheddar Brunch Pizza!
