2. 2Sear the tomatoes

   Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add whole cherry tomatoes and a crushed garlic clove. Sear until the tomatoes are blistered and slightly caramelized.

   The tomatoes should be golden and softened but still holding their shape.

3. 3Cook the dough

   Place the pizza dough in a pizza oven or very hot oven until it puffs and develops char marks on both sides.

   A pizza oven runs around 800°F; in a conventional oven, use the highest setting with a pizza stone.
