Caprese Pizza

By:

Ingredients
  • All-purpose flour, for the work surface
  • 1 pound (454 g) pizza dough, thawed if frozen
  • ¼ small sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) mixed-color grape tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground
  • Black pepper
  • ½ cup (130 g) marinara sauce
  • 4 tbsp (20 g) grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 ounces (113 g) fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
  • ¼ cup (10 g) fresh basil leaves, torn if large
Instructions
  • Using parchment paper, create a 5-inch-wide (12.5 cm) sling to fit along the bottom and up the short sides of the inside of the cooking pot, leaving 3 inches (7.5 cm) of overhang on each side.
  • On a lightly floured surface, shape the pizza dough into an oval and fit it into the bottom of the cooking pot on top of the parchment sling. Cover with the lid, press Bake, and adjust the temperature to 370°F (188°C) and the timer to 35 Minutes. Bake for 15 Minutes.
  • While the dough bakes, in a medium bowl, toss together the onion and grape tomatoes with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to use.
  • Using the overhangs, lift the sling, turn the dough over, and lower it back into the cooking pot. Spread the marinara sauce on top of the dough and sprinkle with 2 tbsp. (10 g) of the Parmesan. Cover with the lid and Bake until the bottom of the crust is golden brown and crisp, 12 Minutes. Press Cancel.
  • Using the overhangs, transfer the pizza to a cutting board and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp (10 g) Parmesan.
  • Toss the tomato mixture with the mozzarella and basil, and spoon over the pizza.
