Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F Shape pizza dough ball into 6-8 inch circle on a lightly floured surface.( Circle doesn't have to be perfect) Place dough on a piece of prachment paper. Fold up edges of dough, forming a 1 inch border. Brush oil evenly over dough with a pastry brush, or drizzle evenly over dough.
- Cover pizza dough circle loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in warm place, free from drafts, 15 to 20 minutes. Heat pizza stone or heavy baking sheet 10 to 12 minutes in oven. ( I think the pizza stone is much better than the pan).
- Remove and discard plastic wrap from dough. Layer tomato, and next 3 ingredients evenly. Sprinkle with pepper. Carefully transfer dough on parchment paper to pizza stone.
- Bake at 450F for 10 minutes or until crust is golden.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh mozzarella cheese, flavorful tomatoes, and a well-made pizza dough will make all the difference in the final product.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust get crispy and the cheese melt evenly.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: This will help the pizza cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the cheese set and prevent it from becoming stringy.
Conclusion:
Mediterranean pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its fresh ingredients and flavorful toppings, it's a great option for a quick and easy meal or a special occasion. Whether you're a seasoned pizza maker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give Mediterranean pizza a try.
