Ingredients:

1/4 cup all

purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons warm water

2 tablespoons tomato sauce

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 slices fresh tomato

Cooking Instructions:

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Stir in the olive oil and warm water until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into an 8-inch (20 cm) circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2 cm) border around the edge. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and top with tomato slices.

Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Let cool before slicing and serving.
