A crisp, blistered base with a tender, airy crumb — ready in the time it takes to preheat your oven.
Method
Step by step
- 01
Preheat oven to 240 °C with a pizza stone or upturned tray inside.
- 02
On a floured surface, gently stretch the thawed dough into a 28 cm round — push from the centre out, leaving a puffy edge.
- 03
Transfer to a sheet of baking paper. Spread sauce thinly, leaving a 2 cm crust.
- 04
Scatter mozzarella and any toppings. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- 05
Slide the paper onto the hot stone. Bake 8–12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- 06
Finish with fresh basil, cracked pepper and a final drizzle of olive oil. Slice and serve immediately.
Baker's tip: For extra char, switch to grill (broil) for the final 60 seconds — watch it closely.
Keep baking
