Refreshing Pineapple Basil Pizza Recipe

Fresh Pineapple and Basil Pizza

Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and refreshing recipe for a fresh pineapple and basil pizza. This combination may sound unconventional, but trust me, the sweet tanginess of the pineapple paired with the aromatic freshness of the basil creates a truly delightful flavor experience. This pizza is perfect for a light lunch or dinner on a warm summer day.

Ingredients:

• 300g pizza dough
• 200g fresh pineapple, thinly sliced
• a handful of fresh basil leaves
• 150g mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• rolling pin
• baking sheet
• knife
• cutting board
• grater

To start, preheat 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 rolled-out dough to a baking sheet.

Next, drizzle the olive oil over the dough and spread the minced garlic evenly. Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the seasoned dough.

Arrange the thinly sliced fresh pineapple over the cheese, ensuring even coverage. Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the pineapple.

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the unique combination of flavors with every bite!

The approximate total weight of the cooked pizza is 770g, with 4 servings. Each serving is approximately 192g, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes over the pizza before baking for a hint of heat that complements the sweetness of the pineapple.

I hope you give this fresh pineapple and basil pizza a try and discover a new favorite flavor combination. Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings and make it your own!
