Tomato Garlic Pizza

This is a delicious Tomato Garlic Pizza aka white pizza with sliced Roma tomato baked to perfection in a crispy crust!

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 35 MinTotal time: 45 Min

Ingredients

1 recipe of my homemade pizza dough or your favorite store-bought
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 or 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce
olive oil for drizzling
grated cheese (we use Pecorino Romano and Parmesan blended together)
dried oregano and parsley
1 or 2 thinly sliced Roma tomatoes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
granulated garlic to sprinkle on the rim of the crust
whole milk mozzarella slices around 12 slices (use from the deli or grated off a block of whole milk mozzarella)
Garnish: fresh basil leaves torn
Optional: cayenne pepper and black pepper to taste (sesame seeds for the edge of the crust).

Instructions

Stretch homemade pizza dough into the shape of your pizza pan( rectangular or round pizza pan) thinly, by rolling it out with some flour and place in a greased pan.
Let dough rise for 1/2 hour.
Bake the crust for around 10 minutes (this is optional we precook the crust for an extra crispy crust.)
Note: Check the bottom and loosen that it isn't sticking to the pan gently with a metal spatula. We usually add a bit more olive oil on the bottom if necessary before topping and rebaking.
Sprinkle the edges with granulated garlic and sesame seeds if using.
Drizzle the whole dough with butter with a mixture of olive oil just a few teaspoons.
Add a generous amount of grated cheese, then spread with tomato sauce.
Sprinkle evenly with oregano all over the top.
Put the sliced tomatoes on top adding some minced garlic to each tomato.
Place slices of mozzarella all over the top to cover.
Drizzle each tomato with olive oil and red pepper flakes (cayenne pepper and black pepper if using).
Bake in a preheated 430-degree hot oven until the mozzarella starts to brown and the crust edges are browned. Garnish with fresh torn basil
