Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
1 (.25 ounce) envelope Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast or RapidRise Yeast
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup very warm water (120 degrees to 130 degrees F)*
2 tablespoons Mazola® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Mazola® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
Freshly ground Spice Islands® Sea Salt Adjustable Grinder
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
¼ cup chopped fresh basil***
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Italian Herb Seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rest at this point for 10 minutes.)
  • Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. OR roll dough on a floured counter to 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough.
  • For toppings: Combine oil and garlic; brush over crust. Top with freshly ground sea salt. Add tomato slices and basil; sprinkle with cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of Italian herb seasoning.
  • Bake on lowest oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.

This pizza is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I always have leftover cheese and sauce in my fridge, so this is a perfect way to use them up.
