Cheese Pizza Recipe

Pizza Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Pizza Dough

   Start by preparing the pizza dough. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions. If making from scratch, mix flour, water, yeast, and salt in a bowl and knead until smooth. Let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

2. 2

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the pizza.

3. 3

   Roll Out the Dough

   After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased pizza stone or baking sheet.

4. 4

   Add Pizza Sauce

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

5. 5

   Add Cheese and Seasonings

   Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Then add a drizzle of olive oil, salt, dried oregano, and black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Bake the Pizza

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

7. 7

   Slice and Serve

   Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve hot.
