Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dry yeast. Add lukewarm water and extra virgin olive oil, then mix the dough until it becomes homogeneous.

Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it is elastic and smooth. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, then sprinkle with oregano and finely chopped garlic.

Halve the green olives and evenly distribute them over the pizza.

Sprinkle the pizza with grated Parmesan cheese, then tear or slice the mozzarella and place it on top.
