Roll out the base
Roll or stretch the dough into a thin round on a floured surface.

Spread the sauce
Spread the pizza pasta sauce evenly over the base, leaving a small border for the crust.

Add the cheese
Scatter the torn mozzarella evenly over the sauce.

Bake
Slide onto the hot tray or stone and bake for 8–10 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Finish
Remove from the oven, scatter over fresh basil, drizzle with olive oil, and serve immediately.
Nitra tip
A very hot oven is essential for a good pizza crust — preheat it, and the tray or stone, for at least 20 minutes.
