Ingredients

  • 1 package about 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce or marinara
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings e.g., pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Turn on the oven and let it get hot before putting food inside.
  • First, heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This makes sure that your pizza bread cooks evenly and has a nice golden crust.
  • Rolling out the dough: If you bought your dough from the store, just follow the directions on the package. To make your dough, flatten it on a surface with flour until it's as thick as you want.
  • Sprinkle with olive oil: Put the flattened dough on a baking tray and sprinkle it with olive oil. This helps make the food taste better and keeps the toppings in place.
  • Put Garlic in it: Spread the minced garlic or garlic powder evenly over the dough for a strong garlic flavor.
  • Use tomato sauce: Put a lot of tomato sauce on the dough, but make sure to leave a little space around the edges for the crust.
  • Mozzarella cheese on top: Spread a lot of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. This is where the special stuff happens - more cheese is better.
  • Add toppings to your food: Be creative and place your favorite things on your pizza. No matter if you want pepperoni, vegetables, or both, try to spread them out evenly on the pizza.
  • Bake perfectly: Place the cookie sheet in the hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly brown.
  • Cool and Slice: Let the pizza bread cool for a few minutes before cutting it into smaller pieces. This step helps the cheese stay inside for longer.
