Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating to get it nice and hot.
-
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or baking sheet.
-
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
-
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, making sure to cover the entire pizza.
-
Arrange the sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, artichoke hearts, red onion slices, and fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.
-
Drizzle a little olive oil over the toppings and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven using the pizza peel or baking sheet. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza directly onto the hot stone in the oven.
-
Bake the California Pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
-
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your California Pizza hot and fresh out of the oven!
