Directions
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Coat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or a baking sheet with the oil.
Stretch the dough into a 14-inch round. Transfer the dough to the prepared skillet or baking sheet. Place the meatballs evenly around the edge of the dough. Fold the dough over each meatball and pinch to enclose the meatball.
Sprinkle the middle of the round with the dried basil and oregano, top with the 1/3 cup sauce and spread into an even layer. Scatter the mozzarella then the fresh basil, if using, over the sauce.
Bake until the bottom of the crust is crisp and the edges are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
Let cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 8 wedges with a pizza wheel. Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
