Loading...The Neapolitan classic! San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil – perfectly balanced! It's why you fall in love with pizza.
Ingredients
- 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
- 1/4-1/2 cup San Marzano Tomatoes, hand-crushed with their juices
- 1/2 16-oz. Package of Sliced Fresh Mozzarella, torn into pieces
- Olive Oil
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Fresh Basil Leaves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
On a floured pizza peel, dust the dough with flour and create a crust around the perimeter of the dough and flatten down the center.
Stretch it out on the backs of your hands, left hand over right hand, until the dough is roughly 12-inches around.
Add more flour evenly on the peel and lay the dough on the peel.
Spoon tomatoes evenly over dough, leaving 1/2-inch around the perimeter for the crust.
Then add the cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Drizzle with olive oil and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Transfer pizza to a cutting board and top with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve!
