Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- Perfect Neopolitan Pizza Dough
- 1/2 c. Perfect Pizza Sauce
- 1/4 lb. fresh mozzarella cheese
- 10 leaves fresh basil
- extra-virgin olive oil
- Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Instructions
- Set a pizza stone on a rack in the top third of oven. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F for at least 45 minutes. Meanwhile, remove dough ball from refrigerator and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Working on a floured surface and using your fingers, press and stretch dough ball out to a 10-inch round, working from center toward edge; avoid pressing on outermost edge. Transfer dough to a lightly floured pizza peel. Spread pizza sauce onto dough, making sure to leave a 1-inch border around edge, and top with mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, a drizzle of the extra-virgin olive oil, and a light grating of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
- Turn oven to broil for 5 minutes, then return it to 500 degrees F. Slide pizza onto pizza stone, opening and closing oven door as quickly as possible. Bake until bottom is lightly charred and toppings are bubbling, about 6 minutes for a chewier crust and 8 minutes for a crispier one; avoid opening oven door during baking.
