Step 1
Preheat oven to 475°F. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12 inch round, then transfer to a baking sheet.
Step 2
Brush the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella evenly over the top, leaving a 1 inch border.
Step 3
Scatter 1 cup sliced black olives over the cheese. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Scatter 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza, then slice and serve.
