Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, making sure it's larger than your pizza pan.

  2. 2

    Add the Sauce

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza pan. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tomato sauce. Ensure an even coverage.

  4. 4

    Season

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

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice and serve warm.
