Ingredients
- 1 recipe homemade pizza dough
- 1 recipe homemade pizza sauce
- 12 ounces fresh mozzarella
- 1 handful fresh basil thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F. Follow the directions on my homemade pizza dough recipe. While the dough is rising, make the sauce.
- Follow the instructions for pizza sauce.
- Roll out two pizza crusts from your dough and place them on individual baking sheets or pizza pans topped with parchment paper. Top each pizza crust with the sauce.
- Blot excess moisture from the fresh mozzarella. Break it into large bite-sized pieces with your hands and spread it evenly over the pizza sauce.
- Bake pizzas for 12-15 minute or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Immediately top each pizza with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and fresh basil. Slice and serve.
