Mozzarella and Roasted Tomato Pizza
Description
The Mozzarella and Roasted Tomato Pizza is built on fresh pizza dough stretched to about 10-11 inches, providing a soft yet crisp foundation. The pizza sauce is brushed on first, followed by shredded mozzarella for even melting and coverage. Halved fresh mozzarella balls add bursts of creamy texture after baking. Tomatoes are halved and roasted with olive oil and fresh thyme to concentrate their flavor and add an herbal note. Baking the pizza at a high temperature allows the cheese to brown lightly and the crust to develop color and texture.
Once out of the oven, torn basil leaves are scattered over the top, contributing freshness and aroma that complement the roasted tomatoes and cheese. This pizza delivers a satisfying mix of textures from the soft melted mozzarella and juicy roasted tomatoes with a fragrant herb finish.
