Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 12-inch round) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Bocconcini cheese, drained and halved
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, making sure to cover the edges as well. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the dough.
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and bocconcini evenly across the pizza base. Leave a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the toppings, followed by a light drizzle of the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the pizza with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Cherry Tomato and Bocconcini Pizza warm with a side salad or favorite beverage!
