Preparing the Dough

Start by preparing your pizza dough. You can use a pre-made dough or make your own by mixing flour, yeast, water, and a pinch of salt. Let it rise until doubled in size.

Adding the Sauce

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Adding the Toppings

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then, evenly distribute the sliced fresh tomatoes on top of the cheese.

Baking the Pizza

Preheat your oven to a high temperature (around 475°F or 245°C) and bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Finishing Touches

After the pizza has baked, let it cool slightly before adding the fresh lettuce on top. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the lettuce to enhance the flavors. Slice and serve immediately.
