Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole wheat pizza crust
- 1 cup tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This will ensure that your pizza cooks evenly and the crust becomes perfectly crispy.
- Prepare the Crust: Roll out the whole wheat pizza crust on a floured surface. Once it’s the desired thickness, place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Add the Sauce: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Layer the Cheese: Place the fresh mozzarella slices evenly on top of the sauce, ensuring each slice will have a bite of cheesy goodness.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Pour the olive oil over the pizza, allowing it to seep into the cheese and crust for added flavor and moisture.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the pizza according to your taste preferences.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Add Fresh Basil: Once out of the oven, top the pizza with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and a fragrant aroma.
