Pizza with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil

1 lb. frozen pizza dough, thawed
1/2 C. jarred marinara sauce
3/4 C. shredded mozzarella
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced or seeded and chopped
8 fresh basil leaves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shape dough into a disk. On a lightly floured surface, roll out or stretch dough into a 12 in. circle. Fold in edged to form a 1/2 in. rim. Transfer to pizza pan or stone (or baking sheet lined with parchment paper) and prick several times with a fork.
Spread sauce over dough, sprinkle with cheese, and top with tomato. Bake until crust is golden brown, 20-25 min. Just before serving, sprinle basil leaves over pizza. Cut and serve hot.
