    Marla
    Pizza with Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Basil

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for
    drizzling
    1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
    Salt
    1 pound room-temperature pizza dough
    10 ounces buffalo mozzarella, thinly sliced
    16 basil leaves, torn

    Put a pizza stone on the oven floor and preheat the
    oven to 500 degrees F, allowing at least 45 minutes.
    Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon
    of olive oil. Add the tomatoes and cook over high
    heat, stirring a few times, until slightly thickened,
    about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
    Cut the pizza dough into 4 pieces and pat each one
    into a disk. Transfer the disks to a floured baking
    sheet, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20
    minutes.
    On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 disk of
    dough into a 9-inch round. Transfer it to a floured
    pizza peel or flat cookie sheet. Spoon about 1/4 cup
    of the tomatoes over the dough. Top with one-fourth of
    the mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil. Slide the
    pizza onto the hot stone and bake for about 4 minutes,
    or until browned around the edges and bubbling.
    Transfer the pizza to a work surface and sprinkle with
    4 basil leaves. Cut it into 4 wedges and serve
    immediately. Repeat with the remaining pizza dough,
    tomatoes, cheese, olive oil and basil.

    Yield: 4 servings
