• Step 1

  Divide dough into 2 equal pieces; refrigerate half for later use. Form remaining dough into ball. Coat large bowl with 1/4 tsp olive oil; place dough ball in bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough come to room temp, about 1-2 hours.

• Step 2

  Preheat oven to 500 degrees with rack in center. Place 12-inch cast-iron skillet in preheated oven 10 min. Remove skillet carefully from oven using oven mitts; set on heat-safe surface. Brush skillet carefully with remaining olive oil. Shape dough ball on lightly floured surface into 12-inch round, pressing out any air bubbles. Transfer to skillet carefully; form to fit bottom of skillet.

• Step 3

  Brush crust evenly with basting oil; spread with sauce and top with shredded mozzarella. Break fresh mozzarella into smaller pieces; sprinkle evenly on crust. Top crust evenly with tomatoes.

• Step 4

  Bake 12-15 min. Remove skillet carefully from oven; transfer pizza to cutting board with spatula. Sprinkle with basil; slice.

• For best results, use leftover dough within 24 hours. • If making multiple pizzas, reheat skillet 5 min between pizzas.
