Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Gluten-free pizza crust
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 12 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If your gluten-free pizza crust has specific baking instructions, follow those instead.
Place the gluten-free pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil, ensuring the edges are also covered to help them crisp during baking.
Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices, and distribute them evenly over the crust, leaving a small edge around the pizza for a crust.
Cut the ripe tomatoes into thin slices and arrange them over the mozzarella cheese.
Season the assembled pizza with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves, scattering them evenly over the top.
For added flavor, drizzle balsamic glaze over the pizza just before serving, if desired.
Slice and serve immediately for a delightful gluten-free meal.
