Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Flour for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet.
  • Transfer the rolled dough onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  • Brush the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle the garlic powder evenly over the top.
  • Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and provolone evenly over the sauce.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of oregano across the cheese to add herby flavor.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown and the crust is crisp.
  • Let the pizza cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Slice and serve hot.
