Pizza Ingredients
Method
Pizza Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Prepare the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add Sauce
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
Season the Pizza
Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot oven or onto the pizza stone. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Slice and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
