Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a clean surface, stretch the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough on a pizza stone or baking tray sprinkled with cornmeal.

  2. 2

    Drizzle Olive Oil

    Brush the stretched dough with olive oil, making sure to cover the entire surface. This will help the crust to become golden and crispy.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 4

    Spread the Sauce

    Using a spoon, spread the sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.

Cheese Assembly

  1. 5

    Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Follow with the cheddar cheese and finish with the parmesan cheese on top.

  2. 6

    Optional Toppings

    If desired, add your choice of optional toppings such as pepperoni, bell peppers, or olives on top of the cheese for extra flavor.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

  2. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve hot, enjoying your extra cheesy pizza!
