Pizza with Olives and Grated Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• ½ cup tomato sauce
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup pitted black olives
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp dried oregano

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 475°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches round.

2. 2

   Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paper. Brush the surface with 1 tbsp olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.

3. 3

   Spread 0.5 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, stopping at the border. Sprinkle 0.5 tsp dried oregano over the sauce.

4. 4

   Scatter 0.5 cup pitted black olives over the sauce, then top with 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, covering the olives.

5. 5

   Slide the parchment with the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, about 12-15 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the pizza cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
