Ingredients

For the Pizza:

1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough, shaped into a wreath

½ cup of pizza sauce

1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup of fresh mozzarella balls (Bocconcini), halved

½ cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

A handful of fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Seasonings:

1 teaspoon of dried oregano

½ teaspoon of garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes:

Grated Parmesan cheese

Red chili flakes

Pomegranate seeds (for a festive twist)

How to Make the Wreath Pizza

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the pizza.

2. Prepare the Dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle.

Cut out a small circle in the center to create a wreath shape (use a small bowl as a guide).

3. Add the Sauce and Cheese

Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch around the edges for the crust.

Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.

4. Arrange the Toppings

Place halved mozzarella balls and cherry tomatoes around the edges of the dough in a wreath-like pattern.

Tuck fresh basil leaves between the tomatoes and mozzarella for a vibrant, festive look.

5. Season and Bake

Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly with slightly browned edges.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with extra basil leaves, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or a dash of red chili flakes.

Serve warm and watch it disappear in minutes!
