Nothing Homemade - Basil Prosciutto Pizza

Friends of ours recently posted pictures of a pizza that they made using frozen dough from Whole Foods.  Inspired, we tried our hand @ making our own version using ingredients (mostly) from Trader Joe's.

Throw into the shopping basket...

     1 package of Trader Joe's pizza dough

     1 package of Trader Joe's mozzarella cheese

     1 package of Stockmeyer sliced prosciutto

     1 jar of Classico traditional pizza sauce

     1 small bunch of fresh basil

And then throw everything together like this...

     Stretch or roll out the pizza dough into the desired thickness

     Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch rim

     Sprinkle small slices of mozzarella cheese all over the pizza

     Lay down entire slices of prosciutto across the pizza

     Over the pizza with some more mozzarella cheese

     Roll up a few leaves of basil & cut them into thin strips; sprinkle over top

     Bake at 450F for 10 minutes

     

The pizza turned out well except the crust didn't get crispy & it wasn't even in thickness throughout.  The whole slices of prosciutto was not a great idea because it made cutting the pizza into slices sort of difficult; but that can also be a problem with the knife.  Also, I would suggest putting on the basil near the end or after the pizza is done baking.  In summary, this was a easy, fairly healthy, & delicious dinner that was put together in less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
