Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 recipe Pizza Dough

(see separate recipe)

Cooking spray

1 tablespoon cornmeal

1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese -- (2 ounces)

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

 

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.

 

1. Preheat oven to 450F.

 

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 450F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Top with

basil. Cut into 8 wedges (serving size: 2 wedges).
