Pizza Caprese

One of my favorite pizzas is so simple to make and comes together so quickly. Pizza Caprese is simply heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and really good extra virgin olive oil. I could eat this every day! —

Ingredients

1 package (6-1/2 ounces) pizza crust mix
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/3 cup loosely packed basil leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Prepare pizza dough according to package directions. With floured hands, press dough onto a greased 12-in. pizza pan.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over dough and sprinkle with sliced garlic. Bake until crust is lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Top with tomato and fresh mozzarella; bake until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes longer. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and top with basil. Serve immediately.
