Easy Homemade White Pizza
Make a delicious, crispy homemade white pizza with mozzarella, garlic, and olive oil. Perfect for any occasion! Quick, easy, and customizable.
For the Dough:
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 packet instant yeast
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for brushing
For the Toppings:
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Sprinkle of sea salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup ricotta cheese cooked chicken, or crispy bacon
Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, all-purpose flour, warm water, instant yeast, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until a dough forms, then knead until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl with @freshpressfarms Pure Gold olive oil, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 500°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats to achieve a crispier crust.
Shape the Dough: Once risen, stretch the dough into a thin round on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
Add the Toppings: Brush the dough with additional olive oil. Evenly distribute the minced garlic, shredded mozzarella, dried basil, and a sprinkle of sea salt. If desired, dollop ricotta cheese on top or add your favorite protein.
Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 9-10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Enjoy! Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and slice. Pair with a fresh salad or enjoy it as is!
