Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Divide the 1 lb pizza dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.

  2. Step 2

    On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball into a 4-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the tops of the dough rounds with 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Spread 2 tbsp of tomato sauce over each round, leaving a small border.

  4. Step 4

    Tear the 8 oz fresh mozzarella into small pieces and distribute evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of the salt.

  5. Step 5

    Bake the mini pizzas for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from the oven and immediately top with the fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Serve hot.
