Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes while preparing the toppings.
Arrange cherry tomatoes and peeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and slightly blistered.
Roll the rested dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
Top the dough with the roasted tomatoes and garlic, spreading them evenly across the surface.
Tear the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and distribute evenly over the tomatoes.
Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
Optionally, drizzle the pizza with balsamic glaze and finish with a light sprinkling of black pepper.
Slice and serve warm for a delicious Roasted Tomato Margherita Pizza Style dish!
