  2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and allow it to thoroughly heat up.
  3. Slice the fresh mozzarella into even pieces and dab with a paper towel to absorb excess liquid.
  4. On a piece of parchment, press your prepared dough into a rectangle or a round shape, approximately 9x13 inches.
  5. In a jar, combine the olive oil, water, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon and spread the prepared brine evenly over the dough. Scatter mozzarella pieces evenly onto the pizza.
  7. Slide your topped Lemon Pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  8. Once baked, drizzle some extra lemon juice, sprinkle grated parmesan and chopped parsley on top, then slice to serve.
