Now add a no-cook tomato sauce, no-knead dough, fresh whole milk mozzarella and fresh picked basil. Recipe for success, right? Right! One after one, the pizza's turned out perfectly.

Ingredients
1 pizza dough
4 oz. fresh tomato sauce
3 oz. fresh mozzarella
fresh basil
olive oil
s & p
Procedure
1. Place Baking Steel on top rack of your oven. Pre-heat to 500 degrees or on full throttle (Preheat 45 minutes-1 hr).
2. Stretch or roll out dough to a 12 inch cylinder, or any shape will do. Lightly flour your peel and place dough on top.
3. Evenly distribute tomato sauce leaving about 1 inch around perimeter
4. Place fresh mozzarella throughout, less is more.( This stuff oozes). Add a couple of fresh basil leaves.
5. Launch onto the Baking Steel, bake until you've reached your desired brownness. We made a few, some purposely darker than others. What's your preference?
7. Remove pizza from oven, and top with a few leaves of fresh basil and olive oil.
Slice and serve.
