Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven now.
Lightly dust a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal or flour.
Stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to your prepared surface.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then top with grated Parmesan.
Scatter dried oregano and basil across the cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve warm.
