Caprese Christmas Wreath Pizza
Ingredients
For the Pizza Dough
1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Toppings
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
200 g fresh mozzarella pearls or sliced mozzarella
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For Finishing
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Balsamic glaze (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Roll pizza dough into a large circle. Using a small bowl, cut out the center to form a wreath shape.
Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Spread pizza sauce evenly around the wreath, leaving a small border.
Arrange mozzarella and cherry tomatoes evenly over the sauce. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and immediately scatter fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze if desired. Slice and serve warm.
