Margherita Button Pizza ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #pizza #recipe

Margherita Button Pizza

  • Prep Time: 40 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 1 pizza 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thin pizza crust (I used this recipe)
  • Good quality olive oil
  • Several pear and/or cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • Mozzarella pearls
  • Coarse sea salt
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Prepare the dough for the crust, then brush the top with olive oil. Bake for about 5 minutes.
  2. Arrange the tomatoes around the pizza crust and place the small balls of mozzarella between them. Sprinkle the pizza just lightly with a bit of coarse sea salt.
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the mozzarella is nicely melted. While the pizza is baking, roll about 5 – 7 large basil leaves into a roll and slice thin.
  4. Sprinkle the pizza with the sliced basil and (if you like) a few whole leaves of basil just to make it pretty. Slice and enjoy!
