Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, (for brushing the edges)
- 1/4 cup white pizza sauce
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, (sliced thin)
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, (shredded)
- dried oregano, (optional)
- red pepper flakes, (optional)
- fresh basil, (for garnish)
Method
- Heat the oven to 450°F and roll the pizza crust out to a 12-inch round on a prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Brush the olive oil around the outer edge of the dough so the rim browns and crisps as the pizza bakes.
- Spread the white pizza sauce across the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border uncovered all the way round.
- Arrange the thin mozzarella slices evenly over the sauce and season the top with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
- Scatter the shredded Parmesan and the dried oregano, if using, over the mozzarella.
- Bake the white pizza for 20–24 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted and bubbled.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes, if you like, over the hot pizza before slicing it into 8 pieces.
