Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped roasted garlic or chopped garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chopped roasted garlic or chopped garlic
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil strips

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Grease large dark or nonstick cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray; set aside.
  • 2
    In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic and the salt. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 to 15 minutes or until tomatoes are thickened, stirring frequently. Set aside; cool slightly.
  • 3
    Unroll dough on cookie sheet. Press out dough to 15x10-inch rectangle. In small bowl, mix butter and 1 tablespoon roasted garlic. Spread over dough. Bake 7 minutes; remove from oven.
  • 4
    Evenly distribute tomato mixture over partially baked crust. Top with mozzarella cheese.
  • 5
    Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Sprinkle basil strips over pizza before serving.

  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder can be substituted for the roasted garlic in the tomato mixture and 1 teaspoon garlic powder can be substituted for the roasted garlic in the butter mixture.
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese can be substituted for the fresh mozzarella cheese, and this pizza will still taste great.
