Ingredients

  • 1 can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Thin Crust Pizza Crust
  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 package (8 oz) fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/8-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded fresh basil leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 15x10-inch or larger cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Unroll dough on cookie sheet. Starting at center, press out dough into 15x10-inch rectangle. Bake 10 minutes.
  • 2
    Spread sauce over partially baked crust. Place mozzarella slices evenly over sauce. Bake 8 to 12 minutes longer or until crust is deep golden brown. Sprinkle basil over pizza.

  • For easier cutting, place the cheese in the freezer 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into slices with serrated knife.
  • Try finishing this pizza with its traditional tart seasoning -- drizzle with 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar.
