Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450g) Pizza Dough
  • 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 8 ounces Fresh Mozzarella
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside while the oven heats.
  2. Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and half of the sliced garlic. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until blistered.
  3. Dust your workspace with flour and stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Let it rest if it resists stretching.
  4. Brush the remaining olive oil over the dough, then arrange the roasted tomatoes and any juices on top.
  5. Scatter mozzarella pieces and remaining garlic over the tomatoes. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Slide the pizza into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  7. Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature dough for easier stretching. Avoid overloading with toppings to prevent a soggy crust. Allow the pizza to rest before slicing.
