Knead dough 4-5 minutes or until smooth and elastic, but not sticky. Shape dough into a ball and return to mixing bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in warm place about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, dice sausage and tomatoes, set aside. Combine remaining 1/2 tbsp (7 mL) rosemary, remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) oil and pressed garlic in (1-cup/250-mL) Prep Bowl. Sprinkle cornmeal over Large Round Stone with Handles. Place dough onto center of baking stone. Using Baker's Roller®;, roll dough to within 1/2 in. (1 cm) of edge. Brush oil mixture over dough with Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Bake 8-10 minutes or until crust is light golden brown.
3. Remove baking stone from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. Top crust with sausage and tomatoes. Using Rotary Grater, grate cheese over pizza. Bake 4-6 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove from oven; sprinkle with black pepper and basil.
