Ingredients

  • 1 pound (550g) pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
  • 1⅓ cup (315ml) pizza sauce (homemade or store bought)
  • cups (280g) shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup (55g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • cup (40g) shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, pizza stone or pizza pan, set aside.
  • Roll or stretch the dough into a 14 inch circle then place on your prepared pan. Form a small lip around the edge to hold your toppings in. Top your pizza with the sauce and cheeses. Sprinkle the top with the oregano, basil and garlic powder.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.

Notes

  1. If you are using a pizza stone: Preheat the stone while making the pizza. Be sure to make your pizza on a peel or a piece of parchment paper. Slide the pizza off the peel and on to the stone or transfer the pizza parchment paper and all on to the hot stone.
