Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) to ensure it's hot enough to cook the pizza evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking tray.

  3. 3

    Spread Tomato Sauce

    Evenly spread the tomato sauce over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them evenly over the tomato sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Tear the buffalo mozzarella into pieces and scatter them over the tomatoes.

  6. 6

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the toppings, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
