Steps

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, stretch the pizza dough into an 8-inch round. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the crushed tomatoes evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Arrange the mozzarella slices on top of the tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy your Pizza Italia!
