1
Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
2
Prepare the Tomato Sauce
Chop the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt, and mix well. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Add Cheese and Basil
Tear the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves and add them to the mixture as well.
4
Assemble the Pizza
Spread the tomato, mozzarella, and basil mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5
Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
6
Season and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Season with black pepper to taste, slice, and serve hot.
