Preparation
Step 1
1. Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in oven. Preheat oven to 500° (keep pizza stone or baking sheet in oven as it preheats).
2. Let dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. Place basil, 1 tablespoon oil, and garlic in a mini food processor; pulse 3 times to form a paste. Add 1 tablespoon water; pulse until smooth.
4. Roll dough into a 14-inch circle on a floured surface; pierce entire surface liberally with a fork. Carefully remove pizza stone from oven. Arrange dough on pizza stone. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon oil over dough. Top evenly with cheese and tomatoes. Bake at 500° for 11 minutes or until crust is browned and crisp. Drizzle basil mixture over pizza; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Cut into 12 slices.
