📝 Preparation Steps

Prepare your pizza dough according to the recipe instructions. This usually involves about ⏱️ 15 minutes of active work and ⏱️ 45 minutes of resting time.

Place a pizza stone in your oven and preheat it to 500°F. A very hot oven is key for a crispy crust.

While the oven heats, prepare your sauce. A simple, light sauce works best.

If using fresh mozzarella, slice it into 1/4 inch thick pieces and pat dry with a paper towel to prevent a soggy pizza.

Lightly dust a pizza peel or a rimless baking sheet with cornmeal or semolina flour. Gently stretch the dough into a circle and place it on the prepared peel.

Spread a thin layer of sauce over the dough. Add your mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and a few pinches of salt.

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone. Bake for 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

Let the pizza cool for a minute before garnishing with fresh basil. Slice and serve immediately.
