Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat wood-fired oven or conventional oven to 500°F with pizza stone inside for 45 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Toss 2 cups cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast at 450°F for 15 minutes until skins blister and tomatoes soften.
  3. Step 3: Roll out 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
  4. Step 4: Transfer dough to a pizza peel or parchment paper. Evenly spread roasted tomatoes over dough, then tear 8 oz smoked mozzarella into small pieces and distribute on top.
  5. Step 5: Slide pizza onto preheated stone and bake for 7-9 minutes until crust is charred and cheese is bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Remove pizza from oven and scatter 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves on top. Drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using before slicing and serving.
