"This is a very easy and great tasting pizza recipe I love to make. Don't let the simple ingredients make you think that this is a bland pizza, it is delicious. Regular diced tomatoes can be used in lieu of the fire roasted tomatoes but, there will be a difference in the flavour. Fresh herbs are best for this pizza. I do not recommend adding any toppings to this as the crust is too thin to hold anything heavy. Thanks John, for sharing this recipe with me."

Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Step 9

Step 17
Top with mozzarella cheese about 1 inch from the edges.
