Total includes 0 minutes of resting, rising, chilling, or incubation where specified. Pizza dough baking time depends on the recipe you make.
Let’s make it
- 01
Heat oven with a heavy baking sheet to 475°F (245°C). Stretch room-temperature dough into a 12-inch circle on parchment.
- 02
Spread sauce thinly and add mozzarella and tomato. Brush edges with oil.
- 03
Slide onto the hot sheet. Bake 12–15 minutes until the crust is browned and cooked through. Add basil after baking.
A little kitchen wisdom
Drain mozzarella and blot tomato slices so the center stays crisp. Preheat the baking sheet thoroughly.
Make it your own
Use regular pizza dough instead of whole-wheat. Replace mozzarella with a suitable plant-based cheese for a dairy-free version.
Storage & leftovers
Refrigerate in a sealed container within 2 hours and use within 3 days. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F (74°C).
