Instructions

Tomato Sauce

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet until hot. Add garlic. Satue' 1 minute. Add tomato sauce. Bring to boiling, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.

Pizza

  • Spread each round evenly with tomato sauce, to within 1/2 inch from the edges.
  • Dot with mozzarella and arrange tomatoes evenly over the rounds. Sprinkle with fresh basil.
  • Place 1 pizza round directly onto the hot pizza stone. (A pizza peel works great for this.)
  • Bake at 400 for 5-8 minutes or until dough is browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining rounds.
