Method

1

Preheat oven to 500°F (or wood-fired oven to 800°F). Remove pizza dough from refrigerator and let rest 10 minutes.

2

Stretch or roll dough into a 12-inch round; transfer to a pizza peel or lined baking sheet.

3

Brush dough edges lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

4

Spread tomato sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border.

5

Distribute torn mozzarella pieces over sauce. Add optional toppings (roasted peppers, caramelized onions, or parmesan) in an even layer.

6

Slide pizza into oven and bake 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted and slightly bubbling.

7

Remove pizza from oven and immediately scatter fresh basil leaves on top. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired.

8

Cool for 1 minute, slice, and serve warm.
