For the pie, you need to prepare or buy ready-made puff pastry. First, sift the flour, then add cold butter cut into pieces. Add 0.5 tsp of salt, 2-3 tbsp of cold water, and knead the dough. To prevent the dough from sticking, dip your hands in cold water. After that, let the dough 'rest' for a few minutes in plastic wrap in the fridge before rolling it out.
- Wheat flour: 200 g
- Butter: 100 g
- Water: to taste
- Salt: to taste

Then lay the thin dough in a deep form and press it against the edges of the form, trimming off the excess. The excess dough can be frozen for next time. Then make holes in the dough at the bottom with a knife. Place basil leaves at the bottom of the dough form, topped with mozzarella balls.
- Basil: to taste
- Mozzarella cheese: to taste
