Directions

  1. Make the doughinto a thin circle about 10-12" in diameter by mixing the dough ingredients, kneeding it, and flattening/pounding/tossing it.
  2. Dribble some olive oil on top and spread it so there is a thin coating of oil consistently over the dough.
  3. Slice mozzarella at about 1/4" each slice and distribute it evenly across the dough, with no overlapping slices.
  4. Similarly slice tomato and distribute it across the dough
  5. Place basil leaves decoratively but sparsely across the dough, laying on top of the cheese
