Avocado Tomato Pizza
1 12-inch pizza
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella
- ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons basil
- zest of ½ lemon
- freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Place a pizza stone in the middle rack of the oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Heat the pizza stone for 1 hour. Alternatively, heat a baking sheet flipped upside down in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Roll pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using a baking sheet, roll the pizza dough on parchment paper dusted with flour. Spread pizza sauce on the dough. Tear the mozzarella and scatter on the top followed by the cherry tomatoes. Carefully transfer the pizza onto the baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 7-8 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and top with sliced avocado, basil, lemon zest and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach. If it can heat to 550 degrees F, I recommend you do so and adjust the baking time as needed.
