Preparation Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
If using store-bought pizza dough, follow the package instructions. If making from scratch, prepare the dough and let it rise until doubled in size.
3. Shape the Pizza
On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
4. Add Toppings
Layer the sliced tomatoes evenly over the dough. Tear the fresh mozzarella into chunks and distribute it across the pizza. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Bake the Pizza
Drizzle olive oil over the top and place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
6. Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh basil leaves, and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Serve hot.
