Directions

Preheat your oven at 500F with your Baking Steel on the top rack for one hour.
Stretch or roll out your dough into a 12 inch cylinder, place on a pizza peel that has been dusted with flour. Switch oven to broil.
For the eggplant. Slice into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Distribute the tomato sauce over top, leaving about 1/4 inch from the edge. Sprinkle on some romano cheese. Next add the eggplant. Finally add both cheeses.
Launch onto your Baking Steel and set the timer for 90 seconds. Next open oven and rotate 180 degrees to promote even color on top. If you have a second Baking Steel move to bottom Steel. Switch oven back to convection bake. Continue to cook for 2 more minutes.
Remove and top with Romano cheese and fresh basil. Serve.
