  2. Unroll the pizza dough and cut into 14-16 triangles. Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each triangle.
  3. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is puffed and the cheese has melted.

  • To make these ahead of time, prebake the pizza triangles without any cheese. Allow to cool and then top with cheese + tomatoes. Just before serving, drizzle each pizza with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top off with fresh basil leaf.
