Pizza Preparation

  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 for the crust.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Tear the bufala mozzarella into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Season It

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

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, add fresh basil leaves on top, slice, and serve hot.
