Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 12 ounces pizza dough, room temperature
  • 10 ounces grape tomatoes, about 1 pint, halved
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 ounces mozzarella, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • 2 to 3 fresh basil leaves, torn

Preparation

  1. Spray the Baking Pan with nonstick cooking spray and then brush with a layer of olive oil. Roll or stretch the pizza dough to fit the pan. Brush the pizza dough about 1 teaspoon of olive oil and place into the oven. Set to Convection Bake at 450°F and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the top is golden brown. 
  2. While the pizza is baking, toss the halved grape tomatoes together with the remaining oil, crushed garlic clove and salt.
  3. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the cheese and grape tomatoes evenly in the center, leaving an even border for the crust.
  4. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until brown and bubbly.
  5. Scatter with the fresh basil and serve immediately.
