Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made dough (14-16 oz) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Lightly dust your countertop with flour and stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Make sure it's even and not too thick.
Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with the cornmeal to prevent sticking, then transfer the dough onto the prepared surface.
Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help it brown and add flavor.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and garlic powder over the cheese for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
Slice into wedges and enjoy your homemade Easy Cheese Pizza!
