Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round and transfer to a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the dough, then scatter 8 oz shredded mozzarella evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.

  3. Step 3

    Thinly slice the 1 red onion and arrange over the cheese. Sprinkle with 1 tsp dried oregano and a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven, drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and scatter 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza. Slice and serve.
