Crock-pot or Not Caprese Pizza Recipe

Author Sonja

Ingredients

  • your favorite pizza dough I use my sourdough pizza crust
  • enough olive oil or basil pesto to cover your crust (approximately 1/3 cup)
  • 1-2 to matoes sliced
  • 1 16 oz. fresh mozzarella ball sliced
  • fresh basil leaves
  • balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Depending on the size of your crock-pot and the thickness you want your pizza, you may be able to get several pizzas out of one pizza dough. With this dough recipe, I can get 4 thin crust pizzas in my crock-pot.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.
  3. Grease the crock-pot generously.
  4. Place dough in the crock-pot.
  5. Brush on olive oil or pesto.
  6. Cook on high in the crock-pot for 1.5-2 hours.
  7. Add sliced cheese in the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  8. Turn off crock-pot, and let the pizza cool for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove pizza carefully, add raw tomato slices, fresh basil, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, and enjoy!

Oven Directions:

  1. Bake the olive oil crust at 425 degrees for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the cheese after 5 minutes of baking (you could add it at the very beginning, but it might not hold up as well.
  3. Check after 10 minutes. When your cheese is slightly browning, the pizza is done. My TOTAL baking time is about 12 minutes.
  4. Add raw tomato slices, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
  5. Cut pizza into slices, and enjoy!
