Preparing the Sauce

Cook the Sauce
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the San Marzano tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the fresh basil before removing from heat.

Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4 inch thick.
