With its juicy tomatoes and smoked cheese, this pizza has a flavor that's reminiscent of a BLT. Plum tomatoes work best because of their firmness, but any variety will do. We prebaked the crust a few minutes to prevent the tomatoes from making it soggy. Ingredients:
1/2 recipe pizza dough |
cooking spray |
1 tablespoon cornmeal |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded smoked gouda cheese |
1 1/2 cups sliced plum tomato (about 4) |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a (12-inch) pizza pan or baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle cheese over pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the tomato slices over cheese. Combine oil and garlic; sprinkle over tomato. Sprinkle with pepper.
4. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Top with basil. Cut into 8 wedges.
