Easy Margherita Pizza

 
Ingredients
1 tube Pillsbury pizza crust dough
2 Tbsp olive oil 
1 package fresh mozzarella cheese (or 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese)
1 Tomato
A few leaves fresh basil

Directions
  1. Follow directions on pizza crust dough package for preheating oven.   
  2. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray and spread out pizza crust dough on cookie sheet. Flatten dough so that it is evenly spread out. 
  3. Spread olive oil on dough. You can use as much or as little as you want. You can also season it a little more by sprinkling dried basil and/or pepper in the olive oil. 
  4. Slice mozzarella (if fresh) and spread slices out on top of dough. If you're using shredded mozzarella, sprinkle on dough. Layer with slices of tomato and finely chopped basil.
Pre-cooking:


As you can see in my pictures, I layered the tomatoes and basil first and then added the mozzarella. You can do this too, but I recommend doing the mozzarella first. This will give the dough the best consistency for eating. 

You can also experiment with the pizza by adding other cheeses like parmesan and feta with the mozzarella.

Now enjoy!
