Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 prepared pizza crust
Toppings & Sauce
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1½ tablespoons minced garlic (divided)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)
- ¼ cup sundried tomatoes (rinsed and drained if packed in oil)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella/provolone blend cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes (sliced)
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- Ground black pepper (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking your pizza to a crispy, golden finish.
- Brush olive oil on crust center: Take 2 tablespoons of olive oil and brush it into the middle of your prepared pizza crust, leaving about an inch clear around the edges to form the crust border.
- Add garlic and Parmesan: Brush 1 tablespoon of minced garlic evenly over the olive oil area, then sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over it to build a flavorful base.
- Layer sundried tomatoes: Distribute the sundried tomatoes evenly over the garlic and Parmesan layer for added tang and texture.
- Add shredded cheese blend: Cover the entire center section of the crust with the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese mixture, creating the main cheesy layer.
- Place tomato slices and feta: Evenly arrange the Roma tomato slices over the cheese, then sprinkle the ¼ cup of feta cheese across the pizza for a creamy, salty contrast.
- Brush crust edge with remaining ingredients: Mix the remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil, ½ tablespoon garlic, and remaining Parmesan cheese; brush this mixture onto the outer crust circle. Finish with a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
- Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or follow the instructions on the crust package, until the crust edges are browned and the cheese is fully melted.
- Broil for finishing touch (optional): For a beautifully browned and bubbly cheese top, switch the oven to broil and cook the pizza for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Add extra ground black pepper on top if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use a prepared pizza crust for a quick and easy meal solution.
- Adjust baking and broiling times according to your oven’s performance to avoid burning.
- Sundried tomatoes packed in oil should be rinsed to reduce excess oiliness.
- Broiling is optional but highly recommended for a bubbly, golden cheese topping.
- Ground black pepper can be added to taste after baking for fresh seasoning.
