Fresh Mozzarella And Basil Pizza
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large plum tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sliced fresh basil
- 4 thin slices (2 ounces) fresh mozzarella
- 1 (1-ounce) slice country ham or smoked ham, cut into thin strips
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0. Shape Pizza Dough ball into a 6- to 8-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. (Dough doesn't need to be perfectly round.) Place dough on a piece of parchment paper. Fold up edges of dough, forming a 1-inch border. Brush oil evenly over dough using a pastry brush. (If you don't have a pastry brush, drizzle oil evenly over dough.)
- Cover pizza dough circle loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place (85u0b0), free from drafts, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat pizza stone or heavy baking sheet 10 to 12 minutes in oven.
- Remove and discard plastic wrap from dough. Layer tomato and next 3 ingredients evenly. Sprinkle with pepper. Carefully transfer dough on parchment paper to pizza stone.
- Bake at 450u0b0 for 10 minutes or until crust is golden.
- Bake pizza on a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet that withstands high baking temperatures. (High heat makes the crust crispy.)
