Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 7 tbsp butter cold
  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1 handful fresh basil
  • 1 egg for wash
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add flour, butter & salt in a large bowl, mix everything well.
  • Add a little cold water to it and just make sure the mixture forms a dough shape. Don’t knead it, just combine everything and freeze it for 30 minutes.
  • Cut mozzarella into thin slices.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a round shape about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick. Roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Put the mozzarella slices on the sheet and then tomato slices. Sprinkle some salt on top and some basil leaves.
  • Freeze it for another 20-25 minutes. Brush some egg wash on the sides and sprinkle some sesame seeds.
  • Bake at 200 degrees c / 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately with some parmesan on the side. Enjoy. 

Notes

Recipe notes:
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking. 
Be sure to refrigerate dough before rolling. Use extra flour to prevent sticking to rolling pin.
