Cooking Instructions

  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 and shape.

  2. 2

    Add Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the cheese and sprinkle dried oregano and salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

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

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and, if desired, add fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve hot.
