Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the center.

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 8

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

While the pizza bakes, in a small bowl combine the diced cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make a fresh topping.

Step 10

Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
