Preheat oven to 500F. Place a pizza stone in oven and allow to come to temperature
Let's get cracking with the sauce. Nothing fancy here. Pour the can of tomatoes into a bowl. Add in the olive oil and basil leaves. Using your hands squeeze the tomatoes to break them up. Let the sauce sit in the bowl as we get everything else ready.
Next up let's get rolling with the dough. Gently stretch out the dough with both of your hands. I like to hold the dough like a steering wheel and allow the dough to pass through my hands with the weight of the dough stretching it self out. Lay the circle of dough onto a piece of parchment paper and slide an upside down baking sheet or pizza peel underneath the parchment paper.
Ok let's dress the pizza! Add on a couple spoonfuls of sauce, followed by the mozzarella, basil, and olive oil.
Open the oven and slide the pizza on the parchment paper onto the pizza stone and shut the oven door. Allow the pizza to bake for 60-90 seconds and then open the door and carefully remove the parchment paper. Close oven door and allow pizza to bake for another 8-9 minutes. You can also turn on the broiler at. the end to add some additional colour to the top of the pizza.
Remove from the oven, slice and enjoy!
