In a bowl, hydrate the yeast with the water, and dissolve using a spoon. Let it rest for 3 minutes. In another bowl with the flour, add the hydrated yeast, oil, and salt; using your hands or a plastic spatula, mix gradually, add McCormick® Special Selection Garlic Butter flavor, and integrate until you have a sticky but firm consistency. Sprinkle a little flour on a flat surface, remove the dough from the bowl, and place it on top, knead for about 10 minutes or until you have an elastic and uniform consistency. Place the dough in a greased bowl with olive oil, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. Punch the dough with your fist to release the air. In another bowl, mix the tomato paste with pepper, enough salt, olive oil, and basil until integrated. Set aside. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle, place the dough in a baking mold, add the crushed tomato mixture, fresh mozzarella cheese, and a little more basil. Bake at 250 °C for 8 minutes. If desired, you can garnish with more basil.
