Preparation Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Add 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 fresh mozzarella cheese into pieces and distribute it evenly over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Add Basil

    Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter fresh basil leaves on top. Allow to cool for a minute before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the pizza and serve hot, drizzled with a little more olive oil if desired.
