Preparation

Step 1

1. PUT flour, yeast, and salt in food processor. With machine running, add water and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Process until mixture forms slightly sticky ball. (Add more water if too dry or more flour if too wet, 1 Tbsp at a time.)
2. GREASE large bowl with 1 Tbsp oil, turn dough in bowl to coat with oil, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature until dough doubles in size, 1 to 2 hours. Punch to deflate and divide into 2 balls. Cover with plastic and let rest 20 minutes.
3. HEAT oven to 500°F.
4. ON lightly floured surface, press or roll dough balls into thin rounds or rectangles. Grease 2 rimmed baking sheets and put 1 crust on each. Bake 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven.
5. SPREAD each with tomatoes and mozzarella. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until cheese melts and crusts are crisp and release from pans, about 8 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes before slicing.
