A refreshing twist on traditional pizza, Lemon Pizza combines zesty lemon flavor with creamy cheese on a crispy baked dough base. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a light and flavorful meal or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (about 12 inches diameter)

Toppings

  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or a blend of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness, shaping it into a round pizza base approximately 12 inches in diameter.
  2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust when baking.
  3. Top the pizza: Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with olive oil. Evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the surface. Arrange the thin lemon slices on top of the cheese, spreading them out to avoid overlap for even cooking.
  4. Bake the pizza: Place the topped pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the bright, tangy flavor of lemon combined with gooey cheese.

Notes

  • You can experiment with different cheeses such as ricotta or goat cheese for varying flavors.
  • Adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme pairs well with lemon pizza.
  • For a crispier crust, bake on a preheated pizza stone or steel.
  • Use organic lemons to avoid any bitter peel flavor if leaving the peel on thin slices.
  • This pizza is best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for best results.
