Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to its highest setting, usually around 475°F (245°C) or according to your pizza dough instructions.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface, shaping it according to your preference, be it round or rectangular.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Evenly spread the tomato sauce over the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Scatter the minced garlic across the sauce, and if you're in for a spicy kick, sprinkle those red chili flakes.
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes across the base.
- Distribute the prawns evenly across the pizza.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the tomatoes and prawns.
- Season the pizza with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Once out of the oven, scatter the fresh basil leaves all over the pizza. Drizzle a bit of olive oil for that extra glossy finish.
