1

Prepare the Pizza Dough

Mix 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 packet of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Combine the yeast mixture with the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let the dough rise for about an hour until it doubles in size.

2

Preheat the Oven

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it's nice and hot when it's time to bake your pizza. This will give you a crispy crust.

3

Roll Out and Shape the Dough

Once the dough has risen, lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone, and shape it into a round or rectangular pizza base.

4

Prepare the Pizza Toppings

Now it's time to get creative with your edible flowers! Gather toppings like fresh mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, basil leaves, and a variety of edible flowers such as pansies, nasturtiums, or violets. Rinse the flowers gently and pat them dry. Remove any stems or leaves that aren't edible, and separate the petals if necessary.

5

Assemble and Bake

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce onto the prepared pizza dough. Arrange the mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, and your colorful edible flowers on top. Feel free to create a pattern or go for a whimsical arrangement! Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted and bubbled.

6

Garnish and Enjoy

Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra edible flowers for an extra pop of color and freshness. Slice the pizza and savor the unique combination of flavors and textures. Enjoy the delicious adventure of your Pizza with Edible Flowers!
