Instructions

Mix the yeast with warm water and sugar, let it sit until foamy, then add the flour, salt, and olive oil to form a dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes, place it in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F, roll or stretch the dough into shape, transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone, and brush the edges with olive oil.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, add sliced mozzarella evenly, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the pizza until golden and bubbly, then immediately top with fresh basil and drizzle with warm olive oil before serving.
