Instructions

Make the pizza dough: Follow the Best Pizza Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here’s the pizza oven we use).
Make the pizza sauce: Make the 5 Minute Pizza Sauce.
Prepare the toppings: Quarter the artichoke hearts. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Thinly slice the basil.
Bake the pizza: When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don’t have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see How to Stretch Pizza Dough for instructions (or Thin Crust Dough if using thin crust). Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough using the back of a spoon to create a thin layer. Add the mozzarella cheese, then top with artichoke hearts and cherry tomatoes. Top with a few pinches of kosher salt.
Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven).
Top with sliced basil. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
