Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Dough

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

2

Add Sauce

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

3

Add Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tomato sauce.

4

Season

Drizzle olive oil over the cheese, then sprinkle salt and dried oregano evenly across the top.

5

Bake the Pizza

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

6

Garnish and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Add fresh basil leaves on top before slicing. Serve hot.
