- Thaw your pizza dough according to package instructions. Flour a working surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out your pizza dough to your desired size. Lay it on a pizza stone or a greased pizza pan.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for pizza sauce.
- Use a pastry brush or spoon to spread pizza sauce on the pizza dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the pizza dough. Then layer the sliced roma tomatoes on top.
- Bake the pizza in the oven according to pizza dough instructions. I baked mine at 450 degrees for 18 minutes.
