Hazırlanışı

1. To prepare the sauce, heat half the oil in a saucepan and cook the garlic until sizzling. Add the tomatoes, and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Add the chopped basil and mix well. Cook on low to medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, than set aside to cool. Heat the oven to it's highest setting (Usually 500 degrees F.) To prepare the dough, press each dough ball into a flat disk on a lightly floured counter or bread board. Using your fingers and knuckles carefully, press the dough out into a 12 inch circle. Place the dough onto a baking peel lightly coated with cornmeal. Place a large scoop of sauce onto each pizza and spread evenly across the pizza leaving a 1 inch edge. Do not use too much sauce as you should be able to see the dough through the sauce. Place some mozzarella cheese on each pizza and place one basil leaf in the center. Bake each pizza for about 10 minutes or until the pizza is brown and bubbly turning the pizza halfway if needed for it to bake evenly.
