Look for fresh mozzarella and bocconcini cheeses in sealed bags or tubs of water at deli counters. For a delicious splurge, use buffalo mozzarella, a flavourful fresh mozzarella made from water-buffalo milk.

The Ultimate Pizza Dough
Tomato Pizza Sauce recipe
Drain and pat mozzarella dry; cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick rounds. Arrange on paper towel–lined tray; let stand for 30 minutes.
Brush eggplant with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until tender, about 10 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
On lightly floured surface, roll out dough into 14-inch (35 cm) round; centre on greased pizza pan. Spread with tomato sauce; sprinkle with basil. Top with eggplant, anchovies and mozzarella.
Bake in bottom third of 425°F (220°C) oven until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden and slightly puffed, 20 minutes.
TIP: You can also broil eggplant on foil-lined baking sheet, turning once, until golden and translucent, about 5 minutes.
