Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside to heat while preparing the pizza.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with cornmeal.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the garlic is aromatic but not browned. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Brush the entire surface of the pizza dough with the garlic-infused olive oil, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

Step 5

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the oiled surface of the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Top with parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.

Step 10

Cut into slices and serve warm.
