2tablespoonsgrated parmesan cheese
1tablespoonfresh parsleyfor garnish
Freshly ground black pepperto taste
Chili flakesoptional

Halal turkey slicesoptional
Capersoptional
Fresh basil or thymeoptional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or sturdy baking sheet inside the oven while it heats.
Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll the pizza dough into your preferred shape. Keep enough thickness around the edges to create a nicely puffed crust.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, water, chopped parsley, grated garlic, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the lemon-herb mixture evenly over the prepared dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
Tear or slice the fresh mozzarella and distribute it evenly over the pizza. Sprinkle the grated parmesan on top.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove your Lemon Pizza Recipe from the oven and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and freshly ground black pepper. Add chili flakes, arugula, capers, halal turkey slices, basil, or thyme if desired.
Slice and serve while warm.
Notes
Store-bought pizza dough makes this recipe particularly convenient, but homemade dough works beautifully too.
