recipe

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 450ºF. On a lightly flour-dusted surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circle about 10-12 inches wide.
  • Step 2
    On a baking sheet turned upside-down, add parchment paper. If you have a pizza steel, use that instead! Place the dough on top of the baking sheet & reshape if needed.
  • Step 3
    Spread a thin layer of sauce over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
  • Step 4
    Slice the fresh mozzarella ball into thin rounds. Arrange the cheese over the sauce. Season with salt & pepper. Bake for 10-15 min at 450°F.
  • Step 5
    Once the pizza is golden brown & melty, remove it from the oven. Garnish with torn basil leaves & a drizzle of olive oil. Serve & enjoy!
