Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500°F and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface with 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, stretch 1 ball (about 200g) of pizza dough into a 10.5-inch round, maintaining an even thickness with a slightly raised edge.
- Step 2: Spread 1/2 cup San Marzano tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Tear 4 oz fresh mozzarella into small pieces and distribute them evenly on top of the sauce.
- Step 3: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp sea salt over the pizza and drizzle 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone and bake for 7-9 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Step 4: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter 6 fresh basil leaves on top. Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
