Ingredients
- 1 ready pizza base (250 g)
- 150 ml pizza tomato sauce
- 200 g grated mozzarella
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Fresh basil
Method
- Heat the oven as high as it goes, 250 °C if possible, with a tray or stone inside for 20 minutes.
- Stretch the dough, leaving the rim slightly thicker.
- Spread the sauce thinly. Too much sauce leaves the middle wet.
- Scatter the mozzarella evenly, leaving a 1 cm border.
- Bake for 8–12 minutes until the rim puffs and the cheese blisters.
- Finish with olive oil, oregano and fresh basil out of the oven.
Tips
- Use low-moisture pizza mozzarella; fresh mozzarella wets the base.
- Preheating the tray is what gives a cooked, crisp base instead of a pale one.
