3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s nice and elastic. Go on, take out some frustration!
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about an hour. It should double in size – it’s a pizza workout!
5. Meanwhile, whip up that chimichurri sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Make sure to give it a good stir to combine the herbs with the oil and vinegar goodness.
6. Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
7. Spread the chimichurri sauce over the dough, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and add your cherry tomatoes and any other toppings.
