Sicilian Pizza

1. 1

   Prepare the pizza dough, dividing the dough into two equal portions before the second rising.

2. 2

   Place the oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 475 F. Using a little of the olive oil, grease two 8-inch square baking pans.

3. 3

   Place a dough ball in each prepared pan.

4. 4

   Stretch and push the dough out with your fingertips to a roughly even layer in the pan.

5. 5

   Press firmly with your fingertips to leave deep indentations in the dough.

6. 6

   Then brush with the remaining olive oil, allowing it to collect in the indentations.

7. 7

   Spread the pizza sauce over the pizzas, dividing it evenly.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the sauce with salt and scatter the cheese and basil over the sauce.

9. 9

   Bake the pizzas, rotating them so they cook evenly, until the underside is deep golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.

10. 10

    Let stand a few minutes before removing from the pans and cutting into slices.
