A fun fave you can top 'til you drop.
- 1 package of store-bought pizza dough OR your favorite dough recipe
- Oil, for greating
- Tomato sauce
- 8 oz (50 g) of mozzarella
- 16 cherry tomatoes
- Cheese, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- Freshly ground black pepper
For the dough, use 1 package of store-bought pizza dough OR your favorite dough recipe. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 pieces for large pizzas, or 8 for small ones.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Oil a couple of large baking sheets. Roll out the dough into circles, then place them on the baking sheets.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on each pizza. Top with mozzarella cheese and halved cherry tomatoes. (Or try a mix of cheeses such as mozzarella with grated Cheddar or Parmesan.) Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Scatter fresh basil leaves on your baked pizza and season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Make tomato sauce and store it in the freezer until you need it. Alternatively, use marinara sauce from the supermarket.
