Not Really Pizza!

Today, most supermarkets sell Pizza dough that you can just stretch out, pile on a bunch of ingredients like tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, ham, or whatever is you desire. Top it all with good Parmesan Cheese and just bake it and you got something good to eat.

• This is very easy and tasty at the end.
• Start by lining a cooking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
• Spread some plain flour on its surface and start attempting to spread de dough. Not an easy task because it tends to shrink back every time you let go of it. You can use a rolling pin or an empty bottle of wine and roll the dough out to cover all of the cooking sheet tray.
• Once it stays still and does not shrink much, then you are ready to continue.

• With your fingers press down on the dough to make indentations on it. Do it all over.
• Let it rest for half an hour for it to grow in size.
• Then drizzle some good quality Olive Oil and with a brush make sure the entire area is covered with it.
• Put some Kosher salt to taste.
• You are now ready for the good stuff...
• Sprinkle some Parmesan Cheese on the dough. Remember that you can put whatever you want, but this one is very simple.
• Cut tomato slices, thin ones work better, and cover most of the surface of the dough with them.
• Finely chop some fresh basil or sprinkle dry one if you don't have fres.
• Add a little bit more of Kosher salt and some more Olive Oil.
• Top it all with more Parmesan Cheese.

Pre-heat the oven at 425 degrees and when ready, bake for 6 to 14 minutes. Times vary depending on the oven. Keep your eye on it and when you see the edges of the crust turn light brown and the oil bubling ... It is ready.

You can cut it anyway you want, but you will enjoy it... I am sure of it. Let me know how yours came out.
