Ingredients
Pizza Base Ingredients
- 1 piece pizza crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing the edges
Cheese and Sauce Ingredients
- 1/4 cup white pizza sauce
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced thin
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- Dried oregano optional
- Red pepper flakes optional
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer it to a prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Using a pastry brush, brush olive oil around the edges of the pizza dough so that the crust will get golden brown as it bakes.
- Spread the white sauce over the surface of the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Assembly
- Top with thinly sliced mozzarella, making sure to evenly distribute the cheese.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and dried oregano if desired.
Baking
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve hot out of the oven, sliced into wedges. Enjoy on its own or pair with a fresh salad or a glass of white wine.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don’t overload on cheese to avoid a greasy pizza. Experiment with fresh herbs for enhanced flavor.
