Italian Pizza
(1 Servings)Ingredients
1 | 100 g pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) |
2 | 50 g tomato sauce |
3 | 50 g mozzarella cheese, shredded |
4 | 20 g fresh basil leaves |
5 | 1 tablespoon olive oil |
6 | Salt, to taste |
7 | Black pepper, to taste |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to about 25 cm in diameter. Make sure it’s evenly shaped.
Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the heated pizza stone if using) and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Add Fresh Basil: Once the pizza is out of the oven, scatter the fresh basil leaves on top, allowing them to wilt slightly from the heat.
Slice and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges and enjoy!
Pro Tips
For extra flavor, consider adding some sliced olives or pepperoni before baking.
If you like a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on the oven rack for the last few minutes.
