In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture, and knead into a dough.
Let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the dough on a floured surface, then transfer it to a baking sheet.
Spread the crushed tomatoes over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top with mozzarella slices and season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from oven, top with fresh basil, and drizzle with olive oil before serving.

For a crispier crust, use a baking stone and preheat it in the oven.
