Equipment

  • Round Pizza Baking Tray

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • A sprinkling of cornmeal
  • 1 ball of pizza dough I used store-bought; let it rest out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before spreading it on the baking pan
  • 1 cup of pizza sauce
  • 2 cups of mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup of feta cheese crumbles
  • 1 large clove of garlic finely minced
  • 7 fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1-2 Roma tomatoes sliced
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Serving:

  • Parmesan freshly grated

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat the pizza tray with cooking spray, then sprinkle it evenly with a little cornmeal.
  • Let the dough rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before spreading it out on the baking tray.
  • Spread the dough on a pizza sheet to your desired size.
  • Spoon the sauce on the dough and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese all over, followed by the feta.
  • Next, carefully spread the minced garlic all over the pizza; don't drop in large clumps!
  • Top with half of the fresh chopped basil.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  • Add the sliced tomatoes and remaining fresh basil, then season with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Enjoy.
