    Add the Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Cheese it Up

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tomato purée.

  4. 4

    Layer the Pepperoni

    Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices over the mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Season and Drizzle

    Sprinkle salt and dried oregano over the top, then drizzle with olive oil.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
