Preparation Steps

Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Add Marinara Sauce
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Add Cheese and Tomatoes
Tear the fresh mozzarella into smaller pieces and distribute it evenly over the sauce. Add the house-roasted tomatoes on top.

Season and Bake
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the toppings. Drizzle olive oil on top, then place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Add Fresh Basil
Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the top for added flavor and freshness. Let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Serve
