Cooking 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 the Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute it evenly over the tomato sauce.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the top, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve hot.
