Easy tomato basil white pizza with fresh mozzarella

This pizza is really easy to make, and quick, too.  I use rapid rise yeast and from starting the recipe to the first bite, it was only one hour.  You can use ready-made dough to save even more time. 
Ingredients:
Pizza dough:
1 pkg yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 cup warm water
3 cups flour

Toppings:
ranch dressing
Sliced tomatoes
fresh mozzarella
fresh basil leaves

Directions:
Combine yeast, salt, sugar, oil and water.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Stir in flour and knead until the dough is soft and elastic.  Cover and let rise about 45 minutes.  While rising, preheat oven to 450.  Roll out dough into a large circle, then cover dough with a drizzle of ranch dressing- I used about 3 or 4 tbsp to cover a large pizza.  Then layer sliced tomatoes.  Cook for 5-10 minutes (until dough looks almost done) then pull out and add sliced fresh mozzarella.  Return to oven until cheese is bubbly.  Immediately after taking the pizza out, sprinkle basil over top.  Enjoy!  Its really yummy and very fast.
