Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.

Lightly flour a clean surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

While the pizza is baking, chop the scallions and fresh cilantro leaves. Set aside.

Once the pizza is done, carefully remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
