Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

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

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously on top.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the cheese and sprinkle Italian seasoning and salt on top for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, add fresh basil on top after baking. Slice the pizza and serve hot.
