Ingredients

• 1 piece (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 2 cups Edam cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment paper-lined pizza peel or a baking sheet if you're not using a pizza stone.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent the base from getting soggy.

Step 5

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded Edam cheese, followed by the mozzarella cheese, over the sauce.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes evenly across the pizza. Top with the remaining Edam cheese.

Step 8

Season the assembled pizza with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt for extra flavor.

Step 9

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet into the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 12

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza for added richness.

Step 13

Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Edam Pizza!
