preparation

Preheat the oven to 500°F. Coat the basil leaves with olive oil, roll them up, and slice the roll so you end up with thin strips. Arrange the tomato slices and cheese slices on the pizza.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is brown. Just before the pizza is done, sprinkle the basil strips over the top, and bake until done.
VARIATION
Roquefort and Walnut Pizza:
Follow the recipe for pizza Margherita, replacing the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with Roquefort cheese and walnuts. Crumble 8 ounces Roquetort cheese on top of the dough, then sprinkle over 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is brown.
