Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the 12-inch gluten-free pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil with 2 minced garlic cloves. Brush this mixture evenly over the crust to infuse it with garlic flavor.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 6 oz sliced fresh mozzarella evenly over the crust, followed by 2 thinly sliced ripe tomatoes. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper evenly on top.
  4. Step 4: Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust edges turn golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Step 5: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter 12 fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza. Optionally, sprinkle 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
  6. Step 6: Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
