How to Make Lemon Pizza
  1. Prepare Pizza Dough by following a no-knead recipe, shaping until smooth.
  2. Prepare Toppings by slicing fresh mozzarella into half-inch pieces and draining excess moisture.
  3. Shape the Dough into a rectangle approximately 9x13 inches on parchment paper.
  4. Make the Brine by combining olive oil, water, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a jar. Shake until emulsified.
  5. Add Toppings by creating dimples in the dough, pouring brine over it, and placing mozzarella slices on top.
  6. Bake on a preheated pizza stone or inverted baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Finish by drizzling fresh lemon juice, sprinkling parmesan, adding parsley, and a dash of black pepper before serving.
