2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 ball frozen pizza dough (see note)
1 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella, torn
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
Additional toppings, as desired
Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Pour olive oil into a large bowl. Rub with a paper towel to coat the sides. Place frozen dough in the bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough thaw overnight in the bowl. Place the bowl on the counter for 4 hours before baking so the dough can rise.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roll dough into a circle. Place on a baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter to trim into a heart shape. Add the sauce, cheese and other desired toppings. Bake for 15 minutes or until crust is golden and cooked through. Add basil and parmesan cheese.
Note: Frozen pizza dough is available at Aldi, Sprouts, Sweet Gourmet-Tyler, TX. You can also ask at some pizza restaurants.
