Ingredients

• 1 package pre-made pizza dough
• ½ cup pizza sauce
• 1 tomato, thinly sliced
• 6-7¼ inch slices fresh mozzarella
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
• ½ cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoon olive oil, for crust
• Garlic powder for crust
• Oregano for crust

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 500°. Place the pizza stone in the oven and let preheat for one hour.
• Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12 inch crust.
• Place a small handful of cornmeal onto a pizza peel and spread evenly to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Transfer the dough onto the peel. Top with a light coating of evenly spread olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano if desired. Evenly coat with pizza sauce leaving a ½ inch crust. Add the fresh mozzarella first and then top with sliced tomato and fresh chopped basil.
• Slide the finished pizza onto the pizza stone and bake for 15 minutes. Be sure to carefully watch the oven because all ovens will cook at different rates. Sometimes it will only take 10 minutes to fully cook.
• Remove from the oven, let cool, and serve.
