Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.
Spread the Sauce
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add Cheese and Toppings
Tear the fresh mozzarella into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce. Add the sundried tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.
Season
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve hot.
