Unexpected Flavor Fusion: Blueberry Basil Pizza

Exploring New Flavors: Blueberry Basil Pizza

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish that combines some unexpected flavors — blueberries and basil! This recipe came about when I was looking for a way to use up some fresh blueberries and herbs from my garden. The result was a delicious and refreshing pizza that’s perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

• pizza dough (200g)
• olive oil (20ml)
• fresh blueberries (100g)
• fresh basil leaves (a handful)
• mozzarella cheese (100g)
• balsamic glaze (15ml)
• salt
• pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• rolling pin
• baking sheet
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a round shape, then transfer it to a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the dough and spread it evenly with a brush.

Next, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the oiled dough. Rinse the fresh blueberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the cheese, then tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them on top of the blueberries.

Season the pizza with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve the blueberry basil pizza warm and enjoy the unique combination of flavors!

Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or a drizzle of honey over the baked pizza before serving.
