Tomato-Basil Pizza

Ingredients

○ 1 to 2 packages of pizza dough mix
○ 1 16 oz. package mozzarella cheese, grated
○ Several small tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes
○ Several fresh basil leaves
○ 1/4 cup dried oregano
○ 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
○ Dash garlic powder
○ A few teaspoons of olive oil
○ Dash of salt

Recipe

1 - Preheat oven to 350° or to temperature specified on pizza dough mix box.
2 - Prepare pizza crust according to package directions. For a smaller pizza or thinner crust, use only one package of pizza dough mix. Shape dough into pizza crust on a pizza pan.
3 - Toss tomatoes in olive oil and salt.
4 - Roast tomatoes in oven until tomatoes begin to burst and skin is dried and is browned in some spots.
5 - Top pizza with 3/4 of the mozzarella cheese, then place roasted tomatoes and fresh basil on top. Squish the tomatoes with a fork so that they pop and leak some tomato juice onto the crust. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
6 - Bake according to package instructions or until crust is browned and cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Serve hot.
