Punch down the risen dough and divide it into balls (the size will depend on the size of your baking dishes).
Press each ball of dough into the bottom and up the sides of each baking dish.
Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce over each dough base.
Sprinkle with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese.
Add the pepperoni, sausage, olives, and any other toppings you like.
Bake the Pizzas:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
