Make sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 tsp olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté 20–30 seconds until fragrant.

Assembly & Bake
- 10
Preheat oven
Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the middle rack and preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) for at least 30 minutes. If using a home oven that doesn’t reach 500°F, preheat to highest temperature (475–500°F).
- 11
Stretch dough
On a piece of parchment or a well-floured pizza peel, stretch the dough to a 14" round, leaving a slightly thicker edge for the crust. Press out any large bubbles.
- 12
Sauce and cheese
Spread about 3/4 to 1 cup of the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2"–3/4" border. Sprinkle the mixed shredded cheeses evenly over the sauce. If using fresh/sliced mozzarella, place slices sparingly on top.

Brush crust
Brush the exposed crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp dried oregano and a pinch of salt.
- 15
Bake
Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto the preheated stone or inverted baking sheet. Bake for 8–12 minutes at 500°F (or 10–14 minutes at 475°F) until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and starting to brown in spots.

Finish
Remove pizza from oven and let rest 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired and a light dusting of crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Slice and serve hot.
