Simple Basil-Tomato Pizza

Directions

1. 1
   Prepare the oven, setting the temperature as high as it will go (most ovens will reach 500 to 550 degrees).
2. 2
   It's best to start heating the oven at least 45 minutes before you plan to start baking.
3. 3
   Arrange one pizza disk on a peel sprinkled with extra flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.
4. 4
   Spread 1/4 cup sauce evenly over the pizza, then sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan evenly over the sauce.
5. 5
   Slide the first pizza into the oven.
6. 6
   The pizza will be done when the crust is puffed and rich golden-brown in color, the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling gently, from 7 to 13 minutes, depending on how your oven is set up (the hotter the oven, the shorter the time).
7. 7
   Remove the first pizza and cool for a few minutes to set up for cleaner slicing, or set aside in a warm place until the second pizza is baked.
8. 8
   Let the oven reheat while you assemble the second pizza.
9. 9
   Bake the second pizza.
10. 10
    Serve warm.
