Not sure what's happening with my pictures - they won't load the right way! Sorry about that! |
This was one of my favorites pre-surgery and this is the first time I've tried to make it after surgery. In fact, I never made it before - I always just ordered it whenever we went to an italian place. This version is just a tad healthier ; )
Ingredients:
Whole wheat pizza dough (I bought mine in the refrigerated section of the grocery store)
1 tbsp. oregano
8 slices or 8oz. of mozzarella cheese
1/8 or 1/4 cup fresh basil (Mine came courtesy of Ms. Andie Stone!)
6-8 oz. of tomato sauce (Fresh would be good, but I use Prego for ease)
3 med. roma tomatoes
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. Put pizza dough on pizza tray. Spread olive oil on both sides of dough. Spread tomato sauce on dough, leaving about a 1 inch edge. Cut tomatoes into rings and lay out on top of sauce and dough. Sprinkle with oregano and torn up basil (reserve a few pieces of basil for top). Layer cheese over tomatoes and lay the last remaining basil leaves on the top. Cook for 10-12 minutes on top rack at 500 degrees. Serve HOT!
YUM! (Only downside of this recipe - left overs don't keep very well. So make sure you've got a group to eat it all if you have a problem wasting food. We tossed the rest because it still was much cheaper to make than what we used to spend ordering out!)
