Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Herb-Garlic Oil

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  3. 3

    Add Pomodoro Sauce

    Spread a thin layer of pomodoro sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Basil

    Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then add fresh basil leaves on top.

  5. 5

    Finish with Parmesan

    Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the pizza.

  6. 6

    Brush with Herb-Garlic Oil

    Using a brush, apply the herb-garlic oil mixture to the crust of the pizza.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pizza

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
