Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the crushed San Marzano tomatoes with salt. Spread the sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese and Toppings

    Tear the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the tomato sauce. Add the halved grape tomatoes on top.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Oregano Oil

    Drizzle the oregano oil over the pizza, ensuring an even distribution for flavor.

  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 bubbling.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve hot.
