📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat oven to 550 degrees and place a pizza stone in the oven. Let it rest for at least ⏱️ 45 - 60 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add garlic and saute just until fragrant but not browning, about ⏱️ 15 seconds.
minced garlic (2 cloves)2 tsp
3
Add in tomatoes, season with salt and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until reduced and thickened to nearly 1 cup, about ⏱️ 15 - 20 minutes.
4
Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Note that only one pizza will be able to bake at a time.
5
Working with one piece of dough at a time, stretch and shape into an oval about 13-inches long.
6
Lay on a well floured pizza peel. Spread about 1/2 cup sauce over one crust, sprinkle with half the mozzarella.
7
Quickly and carefully slide pizza from pizza peel to preheated pizza stone and bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about ⏱️ 4 - 7 minutes.
8
Repeat with remaining crust. Sprinkle pizzas with fresh basil, cut into slices and serve immediately while warm.
