Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch size) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 8 ounces (sliced) provolone cheese
- 3 medium (thinly sliced) Roma tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the surface of the dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, making sure to cover the edges.
Spread the minced garlic evenly across the dough for added flavor.
Lay the slices of provolone cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Arrange the Roma tomato slices on top of the provolone cheese, slightly overlapping them if necessary.
Season the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter the fresh basil leaves on top, allowing the warmth of the pizza to release their aroma.
Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the basil for an extra touch of savory flavor.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Provolone Roma Tomato Fresh Basil Pizza!
