White Pizza Ingredients
Method
White Pizza Directions
Prepare the Pizza Dough
If using store-bought pizza dough, follow the package instructions. For homemade dough, combine flour, yeast, water, and salt in a bowl and knead until smooth. Let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy pizza crust.
Prepare the Topping Mixture
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. This will be your flavor base for the pizza.
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with Basil
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter fresh basil leaves over the top. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot, garnished with additional lemon zest or olive oil if desired.
