Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Dough
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Add the Sauce
Spread the house red sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add Cheese and Basil
Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce. Scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
Drizzle with Herb Oil
Drizzle the herb oil over the pizza and sprinkle with salt to taste.
Bake the Pizza
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, slice, and serve hot.
