A classic pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil on a thin yeast dough. Baked in the oven for about 12 minutes.

Method

Mix the yeast with warm water, sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the flour and olive oil, knead a soft dough and leave it under a towel for 1 hour.
Dilute the tomato paste with 2 tbsp of water, add salt and a pinch of sugar and set aside for the sauce.
Preheat the oven to 250 °C. Roll the dough out into a circle 3–4 mm thick and transfer it to an oiled baking sheet.
Spread the sauce over the dough and top with the mozzarella cut into rounds and the sliced tomatoes.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are browned. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve immediately.
