Ingredients

• 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 3 medium ripe tomatoes
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and press it into a 9x13-inch rectangular baking sheet or pizza pan, sealing any perforations to create a solid crust base.

Step 3

Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4

Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and set them on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

Step 5

Finely mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 6

Drizzle the par-baked crescent dough with olive oil, spreading it evenly with a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic on the dough.

Step 8

Arrange the tomato slices on top of the crust, slightly overlapping them if needed.

Step 9

Season the tomatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato layer.

Step 11

Tear or chop the fresh basil leaves and scatter them evenly over the pizza.

Step 12

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top as a final touch.

Step 13

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Step 14

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your Fresh Tomato Basil Crescent Pizza!
