Toppings

Method

Topping and Baking

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll or stretch it into a 12-inch circle.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the shaped dough to a piece of parchment paper. Layer the fresh tomatoes evenly on top, followed by slices of mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  5. 5

    Finish with Basil

    Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top it with fresh basil leaves. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
