This classic pizza is an essential of Italian cuisine. Combining tomato sauce, mozzarella di bufala, basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil, it’s among everyone’s favourites. Simple, but efficient and savoury!
Ингредиенты
- 2 balls pizza dough
- 1 cup (250 ml) no-cook tomato sauce
- 2 balls (100 g each) buffalo mozzarella, drained and torn into pieces
- Basil leaves, to taste
- Olive oil, for serving
Инструкция
- Preheat the pizza oven on high (MAX) with the door closed for 20 minutes.
- On a floured work surface, roll out one ball of pizza dough at a time into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle, keeping a thick border all the way around. Place the dough on a lightly floured pizza peel. Spread half of the tomato sauce over the dough. Top with half of the cheese (see note).
- Using the pizza peel, slide one pizza at a time onto the hot stone. Bake in the pizza oven for 2 to 3 minutes, rotating the pizza 4 or 5 times during cooking, or until the crust is nicely browned.
- Once out of the oven, garnish each pizza with basil and season with pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Cut into wedges and serve.
