- Add the ingredientsRemove the base from the oven and spread the tomato sauce over it. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese and place the tomato slices on top. Add a pinch of dried basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Baking the pizzaReturn the pizza to the oven and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- ServeGarnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve hot.
