👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

  2. 2

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or a lightly oiled baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the sauce.

  5. 5

    Evenly sprinkle the dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, and black pepper over the cheese.

  6. 6

    Add the remaining cheese mixture on top of the herbs and spices.

  7. 7

    Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the crust edges.

  8. 8

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone.

  9. 9

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

  10. 10

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing with a pizza cutter, and serve immediately.
