Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Garlic

    Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute them evenly over the tomato sauce. Mince the fresh garlic and sprinkle it over the cheese.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

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

  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

    Add Basil and Parmesan

    Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese over the pizza.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
