Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using store-bought pizza dough, follow the package instructions. If making homemade dough, prepare it and let it rise as per your recipe.

Shape the Pizza
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness, typically around 12 inches in diameter for a classic pizza.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.

Season
Drizzle olive oil over the cheese, and sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper on top.

Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
