Ingredients:


1 crust pizza base -- (20 cm)

2 tablespoons oil

1 recipe pizza sauce

100 grams mozzarella cheese -- grated

6 slices tomatoes

3 pieces fresh basil leaves -- (3 to 4)
 

Preparation / Directions:


PLACE the pizza base in a greased baking tray. Prick with a fork to prevent it from rising in the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the pizza base, leaving a 1/2 cm crust around the edge. Sprinkle three-fourths of the cheese over the sauce. Place the sliced tomatoes over the cheese. Cut the basil leaves into narrow strips and sprinkle evenly over the pizza. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings. Place the pizza on the middle rack of the pre-heated (250 degrees C) oven and bake for five to seven minutes, till the base is crisp and the cheese has melted. Remove the pizza from the oven and cut into six pieces. Serve immediately with crushed chilli flakes and oregano.
