Sweet and Savory Mango Basil Pizza

Exploring Flavors: Mango and Basil Pizza

Greetings, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a unique and delightful recipe that combines the sweetness of mango with the freshness of basil on a crispy pizza crust. This creation was inspired by the bounty of ripe mangoes I found at the market this morning, and I just couldn’t resist experimenting with this unexpected pairing.

To bring this Mango and Basil Pizza to life, you will need the following ingredients:

• pizza dough (250g)
• fresh mango (1, diced)
• fresh basil leaves (a handful, torn)
• mozzarella cheese (150g, shredded)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• balsamic glaze (1 tbsp)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• rolling pin
• baking sheet
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin until you achieve your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.

Next, spread the diced mango pieces and torn basil leaves on top of the cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza for a touch of tangy sweetness.

Pop the pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing it into servings.

This Mango and Basil Pizza weighs approximately 800g once cooked and serves 4 hungry individuals. Each serving is around 200g and provides approximately 350 calories.

For an extra burst of flavor, try sprinkling some red pepper flakes over the pizza before serving. The hint of heat will complement the sweetness of the mango and the peppery freshness of the basil perfectly.

I hope you give this Mango and Basil Pizza a try and enjoy the unexpected combination of flavors! Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings and make it your own. Happy cooking!
