1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp olive oil

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 500°F to 550°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.

8On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
9For a thin crust, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.

11In a separate bowl, mix tomato sauce, minced garlic, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper.
12Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.
13Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
14Place the pizza in the preheated oven.
15Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
