- Bake:
- Carefully transfer the topped pizza onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve:
- Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for added flavor.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
