Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a baking stone or baking sheet inside. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a regular baking sheet.
2
Roll out the pizza dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza peel if you have one.
3
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch (1 cm) border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
4
Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of salt. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sugar.
5
Slide the parchment paper or pizza peel onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
