PIZZE
- 1
Prepare the Dough
If using store-bought pizza dough, skip to Step 2. If making from scratch, combine flour, water, yeast, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Knead until smooth, then let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) or the highest setting. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large round shape, about 10-12 inches in diameter. Make sure it’s evenly thick.

Add Tomato Sauce
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Add Mozzarella
Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the tomato sauce.

Add Basil and Salt
Place the fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese and sprinkle with salt to taste.

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

Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone) and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling.
