Spread the Sauce
Evenly spread the San Marzano tomato sauce over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Add Fresh Basil
Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the pizza.

Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the top of the pizza for added flavor.

Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza to the hot oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
