Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

  3. 3

    Add Mozzarella

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

  4. 4

    Add Basil and Olive Oil

    Place fresh basil leaves on top of the mozzarella. Drizzle olive oil over the entire pizza and sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice and serve hot.
