Neapolitan Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Sauce

Method

1. In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the surface and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
4. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Punch down the dough and divide into two balls. Roll out each into a 12-inch circle.
5. Spread tomato sauce over the crust, top with mozzarella slices, basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and bubbly.
