1
Prepare the Sauce
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2
Add Tomatoes
Add the San Marzano tomatoes, salt, sugar, and dried oregano to the saucepan. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
3
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
4
Roll Out Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Assemble Pizza
Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6
Bake the Pizza
Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
7
Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Allow to cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
