Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add salt, dried oregano, and drizzle with olive oil. Optionally, top with fresh basil leaves.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

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