Pizza Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Sauce

In a blender, blend the plum tomatoes until smooth. Add salt and set aside.

2

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

3

Roll the Dough

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.

4

Assemble the Pizza

Spread the plum tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute them over the sauce.

5

Bake the Pizza

Drizzle olive oil over the top and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

6

Add Basil

Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves. Let it cool for a minute before slicing.
