🍕 How to Make Pizza at Home (Basic Version)

🛒 Ingredients:

• Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade — I’ll drop a recipe below too)

• Shredded mozzarella cheese

• Toppings: pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, peppers, olives — whatever you love

• Olive oil (optional)

• Dried herbs: oregano, basil (optional)

🔥 Step-by-step:

1. Preheat Your Oven

• Set it to 450°F (230°C) — hot is key for good pizza.

2. Roll Out the Dough

• Lightly flour a surface.

• Roll or stretch the dough into a circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

• Place it on a baking tray or pizza stone.

3. Add Sauce & Toppings

• Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the dough.

• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously.

• Add your toppings (not too many or it’ll get soggy).

• Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of herbs if you like.

4. Bake the Pizza

• Pop it in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

5. Slice & Serve

• Let it cool for 1–2 minutes.

• Slice it up and enjoy the goodness!
