Tomato Basil Squares

I first had this recipe when I went to a Pampered Chef party a couple of years ago. They were so good that I had them when I held my own PC party. My neighbor gave me some of his delicious tomatoes yesterday and I have some fresh basil growing in my garden that I decided to make them for supper tonight. It calls for refrigerated pizza dough, but I dont keep any of that on hand so will make my own dough from some wheat that I ground fresh this morning. I am salivating already. Anyway, I thought I would share the recipe....except for the part of having to turn on the oven in the middle of summer, it is a great recipe using fresh ingredients.... now I guess I will have to learn to make my own mozerella. (I will probably use more than one clove of garlic too!)
