Ingredients
- pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 1/2 can whole tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 12 ounces fresh mozzarella
- handful fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven. Prepare the pizza dough of your choice.
- Pour the canned tomatoes in a large bowl and crush them. Season the tomatoes with the olive oil, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza, leaving about 1 inch bare around the edges.
- Drain the mozzarella from the water and gently pat dry with paper towels. Slice the mozzarella into 1-inch-thick slices and place them over the tomato sauce.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
- Top the pizza with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
