Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 medium Tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x10 inches, and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the dough evenly with olive oil, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the surface of the dough.
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving the border uncovered.
Layer the tomato slices evenly on top of the mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the tomatoes to season them.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pizza for added flavor.
Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes, then use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice it into squares.
Serve warm and enjoy!
