Dough for 1 medium-sized thin crust pizza base 
1/4 cup tomato pizza sauce 
125g fresh mozzarella, sliced. We used mozzarella from Massimos
2 medium tomatoes, sliced handful of fresh basil, roughly torn pepper to taste

Roll pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface. Spread out tomato pizza sauce. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with mozzarella cheese slices and a sprinkling of basil leaves. 

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the crust if lightly browned and the cheese is bubbling.
