Margarita Pizza

From: https://jamiecooksitup.net/2015/05/margarita-pizza/

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 475.
  2. Make some homemade pizza crust.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Pop it into the oven and allow it to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is cooked through.
  8. Grab some fresh basil (about 12-14 leaves) and spread it out evenly over the pizza.
    Serve and enjoy!
