Ingredients

Small handful of fresh basil, julienne

1/2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 pre-made pizza dough, enough to yield a 12″ pizza

Step by step

Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, and if necessary, let come to room temperature (follow the instructions on the packaging).
Place the standing baking rack in the KitchenAid® Convection Microwave and preheat to 425°F. In a medium bowl, stir together the garlic, ricotta, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper.
Roll the pizza dough into a 12″ circle. Transfer the dough to the KitchenAid® Pizza Pan. Lightly brush the entire surface of the dough with olive oil (be sure to go all the way to the edge), then spread the ricotta-yogurt mixture over the top, leaving a thin border for the crust. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the surface.
Bake until the pizza crust is crisp and the tomatoes are soft, about 12-14 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Garnish with basil, slice, and serve.
