A refreshing twist on classic pizza, blending tangy lemon with creamy mozzarella and zesty garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball Easy pizza dough (or store-bought dough)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (divided)
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 oz (150 grams) fresh mozzarella (or ½ to â…“ cup shredded firm mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pizza Dough: Follow the easy no-knead pizza dough recipe up to step 5, which includes letting the dough rise, shaping it into a pizza base, and preheating your oven to the required temperature (generally around 475°F or 245°C).
  2. Create the Flavorful Base: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, water, chopped parsley, grated garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice, along with salt and black pepper.
  3. Slice the fresh mozzarella and set aside the parmesan cheese for topping.
  4. Place the shaped pizza dough on a baking stone or sheet. Brush the lemon garlic brine evenly over the dough surface. Arrange mozzarella slices evenly across the pizza.
  5. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the pizza and add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley once baked, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best crust, allow the dough to rise in a warm spot. Infuse flavors by adding fresh herbs or try mixing different cheeses.
