Pizza Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pizza Base

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pizza

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Arrange the meatballs evenly on top of the cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pizza

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

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve hot.
