Tomato and Basil Pizza

With so many fresh tomatoes in the garden, of course a pizza is on the menu!  A few weeks ago, I was at the Rochester's farmers market I bought homemade bread dough for only 1 or 2 dollars (great deal!) and froze it.  I used it for this pizza and it was delicious!  I highly recommend not only checking out the fruits and veggies at the public market!

1 pizza dough
2 medium tomatoes; thinly sliced
1 small fresh mozzarella ball; thinly sliced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
handful of fresh basil leaves
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 cup of EVOO
salt and pepper

Pre-Heat oven to 425 degrees.
In a small bowl mix olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.  Microwave for 30 seconds to marinate flavors!  Roll out dough.  Baste dough with olive oil/garlic mixture.  Layer pizza with tomatoes, basil then mozzarella. Remember, if you put the basil on top, it may burn.  Top with fresh Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes or until browned on top and bottom!

Enjoy with your favorite glass of vino :)
