homemade pizza dough
homemade pizza sauce
2 Tb olive oil
3 “on the vine” tomatoes
2 C mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp italian seasoning
freshly cracked pepper
12-14 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475.
- Make some homemade pizza crust.
- Drizzle about 2 Tb olive oil onto a large cookie sheet and set the dough onto it. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Don’t skip this step or the pizza will be super hard to stretch out.
- While your dough rests make some homemade pizza sauce. You will only need half of the sauce for this recipe. Good news is, it freezes super well. I generally put the leftover sauce in a quart sized ziploc bag and lay it out flat in my freezer.
- Grab 3 tomatoes. The pizza will be much better if you use “on the vine” tomatoes or fresh garden tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes into 1/4 inch rings.
- Sprinkle 2 C mozzarella cheese (freshly grated, if you can) over the sauce. Lay the tomatoes out over the cheese and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp italian seasoning and a bit of freshly cracked pepper.
- Pop it into the oven and allow it to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is cooked through.
- Grab some fresh basil (about 12-14 leaves) and spread it out evenly over the pizza.
Serve and enjoy!
