Italian Pizzaroma

Ingredients:

• 500g pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 200g fresh mozzarella (sliced)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Flour (for rolling the dough)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 250°C (475°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.

2. Prepare the Dough:

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a thin circle (about 12 inches in diameter).

3. Assemble the Pizza:

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Place the mozzarella slices evenly on the sauce.

Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper.

4. Bake the Pizza:

Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

5. Garnish and Serve:

Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves.

Slice and serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips:

• For extra crispiness, bake the pizza on a preheated stone or metal tray.
• Add toppings like prosciutto, arugula, or mushrooms for variety.
