Tomato Basil Pizza

One recipe Crusty Garlic Basil Pizza Dough
1 c basil
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c Parmesan
1 clove garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
A splash of lemon juice
4 or 5 Roma tomatoes
At least 6 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 tbs Parmesan

Slice tomatoes length wise in about 1/8 inch slices and place onto paper towels to soak up some of the liquid.

In a food processor, place basil, Parmesan, and garlic and turn on. Drizzle in the oil blend until smooth. Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. This should make about a 1/2 cup.

Press dough into a pizza pan and spread tomato sauce on to dough. Top with mozzarella, then tomatoes and then drizzle pesto over top of pizza and sprinkle with more Parmesan.

Bake at 375 for 25-35 minutes or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
