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! —Beth Berlin, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

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

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Prepare pizza dough according to package directions. With floured hands, press dough onto a greased 12-in. pizza pan.
  2. 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.
