Caprese Pizza
The classic salad jumped to the other side of the menu for a bright play on two Italian favorites.

So yummy and so easy. I wound up using a pillsbury crust instead of our usual New Season's organic crust and my teenager said it was better (though makes a square crust vs. round). Cooking time at 475 was 4 minutes before topping, 9 minutes after. Everyone loved it. I especially enjoyed the balsamic glaze.
It was a really nice change of pace. I did use a little more cheese than the recipe called for and would do that again. I poked the dough as recommended but my crust still puffed up like a giant pita during the 5 minute "prebake". Turned out fine though.
This is one of the tastiest pizzas I have ever made; what a great way to use up my fresh home grown tomatoes and basil. Next time I will try a whole wheat pizza crust, but other than that I would change nothing! Absolutely delicious.
