- 4 balls of 250 g Pizza Dough
- 400 g Tomatoes — San Marzano, crushed
- 300 g Mozzarella di Bufala
- a handful Basil

Method
Stretch the dough
Stretch each dough ball by hand from the center outwards, keeping the rim thick and airy.
Top it
Spread the crushed tomatoes, add torn mozzarella, a few basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
Bake hot
Bake at the highest temperature your oven allows, on a preheated stone if possible, until the rim is blistered.
Tips
Home ovens: 300 °C with a pizza stone gets surprisingly close to a wood-fired result.
