Neapolitan Pizza
Pizza, but make it gourmet! Finding the best tomato sauce for pizza can be hard, especially when you’ve got high standards for your pies. Try our Tomato Basil flavor in this Neapolitan Pizza recipe!
Ingredients:
6 ounces gluten-free pizza dough
3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into 1/2-inch pieces
6 fresh basil leaves, thinly slivered or torn (plus more for garnish)
Coarse salt for sprinkling
Gluten-free flour
Parchment paper
Olive oil
Directions:
Preheat a baking stone (or heavy-duty baking sheet) at your oven's highest temperature (500°F to 550°F). Most stones will be hot enough in 20 to 30 minutes.
Prepare and measure all toppings in advance.
Brush a piece of parchment paper with a teaspoon of olive oil. Dust the surface of the dough with gluten-free flour and pull off a 6-ounce piece. Quickly pat into a ball on the prepared parchment paper and drizzle with more oil. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap or another piece of parchment paper. Press with your fingers or roll out to form a 10-inch circle.
Once the dough is the right size, remove the top layer of paper or plastic wrap. Spread the Tomato Basil Sauce evenly over the dough, using the back of a spoon or a pastry brush. Scatter the torn mozzarella and basil over the surface and give it a light sprinkling of coarse salt.
Slide the pizza into the oven, along with the bottom layer of parchment paper, onto the preheated stone or pan.
Bake pizza for 8 - 10 min. The time will vary depending on your pizza's thickness. When ready, remove from the oven and let the pizza cool slightly on a rack to allow the cheese to set before serving. Top with fresh basil and enjoy!
Bon Appétit!
