Today's Lunch: Pizza Caprese

Crispy Crust!

Pizza is one of my favorite foods. Even if it's bad, it's good! I didn't want to eat pizza today, but I had a bowl of canned tomatoes sitting in the fridge and some leftover homemade mozzarella that needed to be used before it went bad. Also, my mom gave me a Basil plant as a christmas present that I was dying to use. 

This is a very simple pizza recipe, with nothing special going on except for the homemade mozzarella and the fresh basil. The dough came out of a bag. I love those small pizza dough baggies they sell at the store, that you just mix with a little water and it's ready to use. It's the perfect serving for just two people and I don't have to measure anything. Comes out perfect every time!


It ended up being absolutely delicious.

Ingredients:

1 bag of pre-made pizza dough from the store

1/2 cup canned tomatoes

1 cup Mozzarella Cheese

4 Fresh Basil Leaves

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

1 Garlic Clove

Method:

-Prepare the dough according to package instructions. 

-After it rises, put it in the pizza pan and sprinkle the chopped garlic on top with some salt, pepper and oil. Bake for 5 minutes.

-Add some of the grated cheese. Then add the tomatoes. Sprinkle on top the chopped basil. Add the rest of the cheese. 

-Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
