Cheese Pizza Ingredients

1 raw dough(from the pizza place or supermarket)

1 small ball of fresh mozzarella

To start you should prep all of the ingredients for your cheese pizza.

Prepping your ingredients ahead of time is a key way to make the cooking process easier because it will already be done as you follow the recipe.

Rip off the basil you will want to use
Measure out the chicken broth
Cut the mozzarella
Measure out the parmesan

Now that you are prepped and ready, it is time to start putting your cheese pizza together!

Preheat the oven to 550 F.
Starting with the sauce heat the olive oil on the stove until it shimmers.
Add the shallot and cook until brown.
While that cooks, add the basil and tomato to the blender or food processor.
Next, add chicken broth to the blender.
Once the shallots are brown, add them to the blender also.
Pour the sauce into the hot pan and cook until it thickens.
Now to set up the pizza. Stretch the dough and cover the coated pan.
Spread on the sauce (either the one you made or storebought.)
Place the mozzarella cheese on the pizza and then coat the pizza with the parmesan cheese to taste.
Bake at 550 F until bubbly and brown, let it cool, and enjoy!
