Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a square shape that fits your baking sheet. Transfer the dough to the greased baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Add Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Ensure the cheese covers the entire surface.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the cheese and sprinkle salt, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

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

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares and serve hot.
