Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside if available.

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.

Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet.

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.

Tear fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and a pinch of sugar over the toppings.

Drizzle olive oil lightly over the pizza for added flavor.

Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute.

Top with fresh basil leaves before slicing.

Cut the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
