Tomato Basil Pizza

I came across a recipe for pizza rolls in Better Homes and Garden using cherry tomatoes and basil and have made it according to the recipe and it was delicious.  Than I modified it to make it simpler.  I have made it with pizza dough and bread dough.  Both ways are good.


Ingredients
1 store bought pizza dough or frozen bread dough defrosted (I like Bridgeford brand)
2 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 large clove garlic
3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved and/or quartered
1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 cup basil leaves
Balsamic glaze
Course sea salt


Directions
1. Roll out pizza dough or bread dough on a floured surface into a rectangle 20 x 12 or to desired thickness.  It is best to keep it thin.
2. For sauce, mince and mash garlic with a large pinch of salt to make a paste. In a bowl stir together garlic paste, tomatoes, Parmesan, 1/4 cup oil, lemon peel, pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of an oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
4. Scatter basil leaves on dough. Place tomato sauce on dough.
5. Bake rolls 25 to 30 minutes, rotating baking sheets between racks midway through baking time, until crusts are golden and hollow sounding. To serve, drizzle rolls with balsamic glaze and course sea salt.
