2 to 3 fresh basil leaves, torn
1. Coat the Baking Pan well with nonstick cooking spray. Roll or stretch
the pizza dough to fit the pan. Brush the pizza dough with about ½
of the olive oil, and place into the oven. Set to Pizza at 450°F and
bake on Pizza until the top is golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
2. While the pizza is baking, toss the halved grape tomatoes together
with the remaining olive oil, crushed garlic clove, and salt.
3. Once the dough is golden, remove from the oven and press the
dough down into the pan. Add the cheese and grape tomatoes
evenly in the center, leaving an even border for the crust.
4. Return to the oven and bake on Pizza (again at 450°F) until brown
and bubbly, an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Scatter with the fresh basil and serve immediately.
