1pound(454 g) cherry tomatoes(about 3 cups)
1 ¼cups(130 g) shredded low moisture mozzarella
4tablespoonscrushed tomatoes with basil(from a can)
Fresh basil, for serving
Optional ingredients:
1ball burrata
1handful fresh arugula

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 °F (230 °C), or to 425 °F (220 °C) if using a fan-oven.
On a lightly floured surface, push or roll the pizza dough out until it fits the baking sheet, about 10x14 inch (26x36 cm) or a little larger. If you stretch the dough by hand, working from the center out, you can leave a rim.
Place the pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the dough with crushed tomatoes. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, then top with cherry tomatoes.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the cheese has melted, the crust is golden, and the tomatoes are bursting, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil. Add torn burrata, fresh arugula, and a drizzle of olive oil, if you like. Enjoy!
