Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 250g) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 200 grams Fresh mozzarella
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) or the highest setting, and place a pizza stone or an overturned baking tray inside to heat.
Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a thin, round shape, approximately 10-12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make transferring to the oven easier.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon.
Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves, then scatter the slices evenly over the oiled dough.
Tear the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and distribute them across the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edge.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them over the mozzarella, cut side up for an even bake.
Season the pizza with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and crisp.
While the pizza is baking, grate the Parmesan cheese finely and set it aside.
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and place the fresh basil leaves evenly across the pizza.
Slice and serve the Pizza Bianca warm, enjoying the fresh and vibrant flavors!
