Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

Add the Sauce
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 3
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Add salt and dried oregano on top for extra flavor.
- 4
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings to help the cheese brown nicely.

Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- 6
Slice and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
