Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Roll out the small pizza dough on a floured surface until it's about 10 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce, dried oregano, salt, and olive oil until well combined. Spread the sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Topping and Baking

  1. 3

    Add Cheese and Tomatoes

    Slice the mozzarella cheese into thin rounds and arrange them evenly over the sauce. Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them on top of the cheese.

  2. 4

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
