Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.

  2. 2

    Shape the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Slice the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. Arrange the mozzarella slices evenly over the dough, followed by the tomato slices.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle the pizza with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or 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 immediately.
