This fresh and flavorful lemon pizza combines creamy mozzarella with garlic, extra virgin olive oil, parsley, nutty parmesan, and bright lemon. A perfect blend of citrusy zest and savory cheese on a crisp crust.

Ingredients

Pizza Dough:

  • 1 ball Easy pizza dough (or store-bought dough)

Lemon Brine:

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Mozzarella:

  • 5 oz (150 grams) fresh mozzarella (or from ½ to ⅓ cup shredded firm mozzarella)

To Finish:

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pizza Dough: Follow the easy no-knead pizza recipe through step 5, including shaping the pizza and preheating the oven.
  2. Lemon Pizza: Prepare the cheese, shape the dough, make the brine, add the topping, bake the pizza, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • WHAT TO USE INSTEAD OF A PIZZA STONE? Each oven usually has a rimmed baking sheet that you can invert and place on the lowest shelf of your oven before you preheat it. To bake your pizza, place pizza and parchment paper on a pizza peel on the back of a baking sheet. When it’s time to bake, slide the pizza onto the hot, reverted baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy.
  • LEMON PIZZA LEFTOVERS: Cover leftover pizza tightly and store in the refrigerator up to 1 day or freeze up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in the oven the frozen pizza leftovers until nice and crispy.
