We make this pizza almost every Friday for our pizza movie night. It is light and tasty. In the summer, this recipe helps us to use up all of the fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden. Enjoy!
1 t. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 (10 inch) pizza dough using Basic Pizza Dough recipe
2-3 thin sliced tomatoes
1 pkg. fresh mozzarella, cut into thin slices
3 T. fresh torn basil
1/4 t. kosher salt
1/8 t. fresh ground black pepper
1. Position an oven rack in the lowest setting. Place a pizza stone on the lowest oven rack.
2. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Preheat pizza stone for a few minutes before baking pizza.
3. Gently brush 1/2 t. oil over Basic Pizza Dough. Pat tomato slices with a paper towel. Arrange cheese over dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Top with tomato slices. Slide dough onto preheated pizza stone using spatula.
4. Bake at 500 degrees for 9 minutes or until crust is golden. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 t. oil. Sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper. Yield 8 single servings.
