    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 480°F (250°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

    2

    Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape to fill the baking sheet completely. Aim for a thickness of about 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch).

    3

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, and sprinkle with dried oregano for a more intense flavor.

    4

    Evenly distribute the mozzarella slices over the tomato sauce, being careful not to completely cover the sauce.

    5

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

    6

    After baking, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and Parmesan shavings. Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.

    7

    Cut the pizza into rectangular slices and serve, as is customary in Rome. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
