    Preparation Steps

    1

    Halve the green olives and remove the pits if necessary.

    In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

    3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

    5

    Preheat the oven to 482°F (250°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    6

    Roll out the risen dough thinly and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

    7

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with finely chopped garlic and oregano.

    8

    Distribute the mozzarella evenly on top of the pizza, then arrange the halved green olives over the cheese.

    9

    Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    10

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute, then garnish with fresh basil leaves.
