Ingredients
– 1 pound of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup of pizza sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Olive oil for brushing
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet or pizza stone
– Rolling pin (if using homemade dough)
– Parchment paper (optional)
– Mixing bowl
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a baking sheet, I like to line it with parchment paper to make clean-up a breeze. Next, roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick and place it on your prepared baking sheet. Now it’s time to add the sauce! Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. I like to use the back of a spoon to get an even spread, making sure every bite will be flavorful.
