Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). 2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. 3. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. 4. Arrange the mozzarella slices on top of the sauce. 5. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle a bit of olive oil over the pizza. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. 7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle torn basil leaves over the hot pizza, slice, and serve.
