 Ingredients:

  • 1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8-10 fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch (30-cm) circle. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet.

  3. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.

  5. Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and scatter them over the cheese.

  6. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the pizza.

  7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
