Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1 piece pre-made pizza dough store-bought or homemade
Cheeses
- 200 grams brie cheese cut into smaller pieces
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
Sauce
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
Toppings
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread half of the mozzarella cheese over the center of the dough.
- Place the brie cheese pieces on top of the mozzarella, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Then, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, creating a stuffed crust. Pinch the seams to seal it well.
- Spread the marinara sauce over the exposed pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and chopped basil on top of the sauce.
- Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Once baked, let the pizza rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before slicing.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.
