This Margherita Pizza is simple, yet elegant enough as an appetizer at a shower or cocktail party.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a cooking sheet with cooking spray (I use Pam).
Place dough on the baking sheet and press into a 13 x 11-inch rectangle (you can use a circular pizza pan as well). Bake at 400° for 7-8 minutes.
Remove crust from the oven and brush with a little olive oil. Rub the crust with the cut sides of garlic.
Arrange tomato and cheese slices (or shredded cheese) on the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Bake at 450° for 12-15 minutes or until cheese melts and crust is golden.
Whisk together 1 teaspoon oil and the balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
Sprinkle pizza evenly with sliced basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the vinegar mixture evenly over the pizza.
Cut pizza into square pieces. Enjoy!

Oh this was so good! I sprinkled some Italian seasoning on the crust along with the garlic, but honestly, I don’t think that was necessary. Definitely do the vinegar and oil drizzle at the end, it really makes it stand out! Can’t wait to do this one again!
