Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ball Easy pizza dough (or store-bought dough)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 small garlic clove, grated

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt

- 5 oz fresh mozzarella (or ½ to ⅓ cup shredded firm mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Prepare the pizza dough according to an easy no-knead recipe through step 5.

- Shape the dough on parchment paper into a 9×13 inch rectangle; transfer it to a pizza peel or the back of a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a jar, combine olive oil, water, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; shake well to emulsify.
- Create dimples in the stretched dough; drizzle the brine over it and add the mozzarella.
