Just Good Italian
Pizza
- 1 homemade or ready-made pizza
crust
- semolina or polenta
- 1-2 cups fresh, red-ripe sliced
tomatoes, or diced Pomi tomatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil
- fine or coarse sea salt
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and
thinly sliced
- about 20 very thin slices good
quality salam

mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 teaspoon snipped fresh
oregano, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1/4 cup freshly grated
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

 Put
the crust on a pizza peel which has been sprinkled liberally with
the polenta or semolina. Heat oven to 500 degrees with the pizza
stone in the oven. Place the tomatoes on the crust. If using Pomis,
do not use too much of the liquid.
Sprinkle with oil, add remaining
ingredients. Slip pizza onto the hot pizza stone and bake about 15
minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and
serve.
