Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and if you have a pizza stone, place it inside to heat for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: On a floured surface, stretch 400 g of pizza dough into a 12-inch round, maintaining an even thickness about 1/4 inch, with a slightly thicker rim.
  3. Step 3: Spread 100 g of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Tear 200 g of fresh mozzarella into small pieces and scatter them evenly over the sauce.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp of chopped fresh rosemary and 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves over the cheese.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil evenly over the pizza, then season with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Step 7: Transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone and bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating halfway, until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles with slight browning.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
