Roasted Tomato Pizza with Fresh Basil and Homemade Pizza Sauce

Roasted Tomato Pizza with Fresh Basil and Homemade Pizza Sauce

My friend recently suggested I try the herb pizza crust from Trader Joe’s so I did. I made homemade pizza sauce then roasted some grape tomatoes until close to bursting. I made the pizza using homemade sauce, small balls of mozzarella halved, and roasted tomatoes. It smelled terrific while baking and tasted even better. The sauce was amazing and the crust was very flavorful. We loved the gooey mozzarella with the sweetened tomatoes and the fresh basil. I think this is my new favorite pizza.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and plastic bag then place it in a bowl in a warm spot for 45 minutes prior to cooking.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray. Add the tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place into the oven and roast for 10 minutes.

Spread the dough on a pizza sheet that has been coated with cooking spray and a sprinkle of cornmeal. Spoon the sauce on the dough and spread evenly. Place the mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire pizza. Next, add the roasted grape tomatoes.

  1. We are going to be busy this weekend so I might have to run to Trader Joes to get pizza dough to whip this up for a relatively quick dinner.
