Instructions
Plug in the Pizza Griddle.
On a lightly floured pizza paddle or cutting board, roll out dough to about a 12-inch circle. Drizzle or brush the dough lightly with olive oil.
Add pizza sauce in a light layer all over the pizza, leaving about ¼ inch crust around the edges.
Sprinkle a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese onto the pizza. Add garlic and the cubed mozzarella, distributing it evenly over the entire pizza.
Tear a few large basil leaves and sprinkle basil over the pizza.
Gently slide the pizza from the cutting board onto the heated Pizza Griddle. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the cheese is bubbling and caramelized, and the edges of the pizza are golden brown.
Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and allow to rest for 7-10 minutes. Add chopped basil, red pepper, and more Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Slice it up, serve, and enjoy this pizzeria go-to!
