- ¼ cup Homemade tomato sauce recipe or purchased tomato sauce
- 1 mozzarella di bufala ball, sliced (about ½ inch)

- Sprinkle your work surface with some flour and stretch your pizza dough into a round that is about 12 inches by rolling over it with a floured rolling pin. Flip the dough occasionally so it doesn't stick to the work surface, if it does, sprinkle a bit more flour.
- Transfer to a pizza baking sheet or the preheated pizza stone.
- Using the back of a large spoon, spread the tomato sauce on the dough.
- Distribute evenly the mozarella.
