Napoletana Dough for Pizza or Calzone
2

Blend the tomato sauce in the blender. Just for a tiny bit and in the slowest speed, so the tomato just mix up a little. You don't want it too blended.
3

First spread the tomato sauce on the dough. If you are cooking on the oven, leave it cooking only with the tomato sauce until the dough is 2 minutes from finishing cooking.
4

Open the oven and add the mozzarella.
5

Close the oven and leave it cooking until you see the mozzarella almost melting. Don't let the mozzarella melt completely, so you don't over cook it.
6

Take the pizza out of the oven.
7

Add the basil leaves, salt and olive oil.
8

Serve immediately.
