Pizza Margherita

Pizza dough (I use the dough balls from Winco)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 roma (plum) tomatoes
1/4t salt
1/8t pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1T olive oil

1. Heat the oven to 425. Lightly grease the cookie sheet.

2. Unroll the pizza crust dough. Press the dough into a 12-inch circle on the greased cookie sheet, pressing from center to edge so edge is slightly thicker than center.

3. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border of dough showing.

4. Slice the tomatoes, and arrange on cheese. Sprinkle the salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the basil over tomatoes and cheese. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of cheese. Drizzle with the oil.

5. Bake about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of basil.

A must try!!! It's SO GOOOOD!
