How To Make caprese pizzas

• 
  1

  Preheat oven to 425°F. For toppings, slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Place onto a paper towel-lined cutting board. Sprinkle both sides evenly with salt; let stand 15 minutes.

  Meanwhile, lightly brush a rectangle stone with 1 tsp of the oil for crusts. Unroll the dough onto the baking stone.

  Press garlic into a prep bowl and combine with remaining 1 Tbsp oil; brush over dough. Grate Parmesan cheese using a cheese grater fitted with coarse grating drum; sprinkle evenly over the dough.

  Cut dough lengthwise into thirds with a pizza cutter. Carefully move the dough strips slightly apart on the baking stone. Bake 11-12 minutes or until the bottom of the crusts are light golden brown.

  Blot tops of tomato slices with paper towels. Slice mozzarella cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices.
