Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

  2. 2

    Prepare Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce

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

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tomato sauce.

  5. 5

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the top, and sprinkle salt, oregano, and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Bake Pizza

    Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
