• 2 cups of freshly grated buffalo mozzarella cheese, made from the milk of
  grass-fed buffalo in Campania, Italy
• Fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

Making the Pizza Dough:

1. Mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl.
2. Gradually add the lukewarm water and extra virgin olive oil, and mix until a
   soft, smooth dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes elastic and springy.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

Preparing the Pizza:

1. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature
   for about an hour before rolling it out.
2. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
3. Roll out the dough into a large circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
5. Spread the homemade tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving
   a small border around the edges.
6. Arrange the fresh lasagne sheets on top of the tomato sauce,
   overlapping slightly.
7. Sprinkle some torn basil leaves, salt, and black pepper over the
   lasagne sheets.
8. Generously sprinkle the freshly grated buffalo mozzarella cheese on top of
   the lasagne sheets, making sure to cover the entire surface.
9. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the pizza.
10. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese
    is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
11. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
12. Garnish with some more torn basil leaves.
13. Slice the pizza into portions and serve hot
