Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven: Heat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat.
Prepare dough: Roll out pizza dough to desired thickness. Transfer to parchment paper for easy handling.
Add toppings: Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Spread a thin layer of fresh tomato slices or marinara sauce.
Cheese layer: Add fresh mozzarella slices evenly over the top.
Season: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
Bake: Transfer pizza (with parchment) onto the hot stone or sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Finish fresh: Top with fresh basil leaves and a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
