Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the rolled-out dough and spread it evenly using your hands or a brush.

Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 4

    Spread the Sauce

    Spread the sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Toppings

  1. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza, ensuring it covers all the sauce.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Layer your chosen toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives) over the cheese in any order you desire.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Garnishing

  1. 8

    Garnish the Pizza

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice into desired pieces and serve warm.
