Pizza Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  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. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomato Sauce

    Chop the fresh tomatoes and mix them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. You can blend them if you prefer a smoother sauce.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pizza

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough. Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and scatter them over the sauce.

  4. 4

    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 bubbly.

  5. 5

    Add Fresh Basil

    Once the pizza is out of the oven, add fresh basil leaves on top. Drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the pizza and serve hot.
