Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pizza dough, store bought or Homemade Pizza Dough
  • ½ cup pizza sauce, store bought or homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe
  • 2-3 tomatoes, sliced
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon pizza seasoning
  • 2-3 cups shredded mozzareall cheese
  • fresh basil, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. If using a pizza stone, place it on the bottom rack while the oven is preheating (at least 15 minutes).
  • Make the Pizza Sauce Recipe and Homemade Pizza Dough if going homemade. If you are using store-bought, skip this step.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 14-15 inches in diameter. **For more of a crust, fold in the outside edges of the pizza dough before adding sauce and toppings.
  • If using a pizza stone, quickly and carefully transfer the dough to your stone, add the sauce (leaving a little around the edges for a crust), cheese, tomatoes, and pizza seasonings. Put in the oven.
  • If not using a stone, add the rolled-out dough to a lightly greased baking sheet. Add sauce, cheese, toppings and bake.
  • Bake for about 5 minutes, then rotate the pizza and bake an additional 7-8 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

Freeze ahead of time. Blind bake a plain pizza crust for 6-8 minutes. Place it on a piece of cardboard or a pizza pan, add the sauce and cheese, and then place it into the freezer. 
Once frozen solid, wrap the pizza with plastic wrap and then again with aluminum foil. Freeze for 4-5 months. Remove packaging and thaw for about 30 minutes, add freshly sliced tomatoes, and bake.
STORE. Wrap leftover pizza in foil or place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for about 3 days or freeze it for 1-2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
