Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Add Basil

    Place fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza and sprinkle with salt.

  6. 6

    Bake

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, slice, and serve hot.
