Marinara Pizza

The following ingredients are for one pizza
5 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. dry oregano
fresh basil leaves (optional)
Preheat the oven to 255° Celsius.
Grease a rectangular 15 " X 11" baking sheet or a standard 14" pizza pan with olive oil, flatten the dough using your fingers or a rolling pin. An Italian pizza crust should be nice and thin. Spread a double serve of pizza base sauce on the pizza dough.
Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes until almost cooked, remove from the oven to add ingredients. Sprinkle the pizza with the garlic and the oregano. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to keep the garlic soft. Cook the pizza for another 5 minutes but be careful not to burn the garlic, otherwise it will taste bitter.
Serve with fresh basil leaves on top (optional).
