FRESH TOMATO BASIL PIZZA

I crave this bruschetta-like pizza in spring, when I'm planting tomatoes in our garden. Slices make great appetizers when the tomatoes are ripe. But you can also serve the pizza alongside a grilled entree or as a meatless main course.

Grilled Pizza with Fresh Tomato and Basil image

Top homemade pizza dough with mozzarella, tomato and basil, then grill it to perfection.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 medium plum tomatoes, sliced and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Stretch and roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin rustic round about 1/4 inch thick and 12-inches in diameter (no need to be perfectly round). Transfer to an 18-inch-long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and brush the pizza with the oil. Lift the whole piece of foil and put on the grill. Grill until the dough is charred on the bottom and almost cooked through, turning the foil a quarter turn a few times to ensure even cooking, 4 to 7 minutes.
  • Using the foil, remove the crust from the grill. Scatter the mozzarella and Parmesan over top, add the sliced tomato and season lightly with salt and pepper. Using the foil, lift the pizza back onto the grill. Cover and grill until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the pizza from the grill and top with the basil.

PROVOLONE PIZZA (PROVOLONE, ROMA TOMATO & FRESH BASIL PIZZA)



Provolone Pizza (Provolone, Roma Tomato & Fresh Basil Pizza) image

One of my favorite pizza's to make - and it's so easy. I use pre-sliced mild provolone from dairy section or deli. Ease comes from using pre-made pizza dough that I get from the supermarket, however, you can of course make your own. Also, I only recommend using the fresh basil - it gives the best flavor to this pizza.

Provided by BlondieItaliana

Categories     Cheese

Time 17m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lb pizza dough, refrigerated
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 lb provolone cheese, sliced
5 roma tomatoes, sliced
salt & pepper
garlic powder
1 -2 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Roll out dough. Coat pizza pan with the olive oil and spread out rolled dough evenly to all edges of pan. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Top with sliced provolone then place tomatoes on top of cheese. Season with salt, pepper, & garlic powder to taste then sprinkle the fresh basil evenly all over pizza.
  • Bake for 12-18 minutes or until crust just golden brown. Slice & serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they have a low moisture content and a concentrated flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but use only about 1/4 of the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a greased baking sheet.
  • Watch the pizza closely while it is baking. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

This fresh tomato basil pizza recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. The combination of fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella cheese is a classic for a reason, and the homemade dough is the perfect base for this flavorful pizza. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pizza that will impress your friends and family.
