Classic pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Prepare the Oven

On a floured surface, stretch the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter.

Shape the Dough

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges.

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

Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add fresh basil leaves.

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, slice, and enjoy!
