Ingredients
1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough, fresh prepared
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
2 cups baby heirloom tomatoes, halved or quartered
½ cup basil leaves, loosely packed
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Preparation
- Place a 17×12 inch baking sheet in the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Stretch the pizza dough into a 15×10 inch rectangle on a large sheet of parchment paper. Brush the dough evenly with oil. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper. Transfer the dough to the hot baking sheet in preheated oven. Bake until the crust starts to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the oven and top evenly with the cheese and tomatoes. Return to the oven and bake until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with the basil and remaining ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Slice it into 6 pieces.
- Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
