flour, for dusting work surface

1 (9-inch) ready-made refrigerated rolled pie crust

2 large yellow tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick

8 ounces mozzarella, sliced

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sprinkle flour on a work surface. Roll out pie dough to form a 10-inch circle and place on baking sheet. Overlap and alternate the different tomatoes and mozzarella slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border. Scatter the basil leaves on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes. Fold the uncovered edges of the dough inward over the filling to create a pleated crust. Brush edges and top of pie with olive oil.
