Ingredients

  • 250g Neapolitan Style Pizza dough (p.9 of recipe booklet)
  • 2 tablespoons No cook pizza sauce (p. 20 of recipe booklet)
  • 85g fresh mozzarella, sliced about 0.5cm thick
  • 3 basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan
  • Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Preparation

  1. Preheat the pizza oven with the pizza stone on the rack to 380°C.
  2. Stretch the pizza dough out to a 30cm round.
  3. Transfer the dough to the pizza peel generously dusted with flour.
  4. Spread the sauce evenly around the center of the dough, leaving a 2cm border.
  5. Scatter the mozzarella over the sauce.
  6. Gently shake pizza on peel to make sure it's not sticking. If the dough sticks anywhere, gently lift the dough and spread additional flour underneath.
  7. Set the timer for 5 minutes. Slide the pizza off the peel and onto the pizza stone. Start the timer.
  8. When the timer sounds, check the pizza. If baked to desired doneness, use the peel to remove the pizza from the oven, or bake for about 1 more minute. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board. Garnish with the Parmesan, basil, and olive oil. Slice and serve.
