1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) or as high as it will go, ideally with a pizza stone inside.

   On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to a 30 cm (12-inch) round.

3. 3

   Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with flour.

4. 4

   Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

5. 5

   Tear the fresh mozzarella cheese into pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.

6. 6

   Drizzle the olive oil over the pizza.

7. 7

   Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

8. 8

   Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top.

9. 9

   Let the pizza cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
