Pizza is a delicious and popular dish that originated in Italy. It consists of a base made from dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and various toppings such as vegetables, meat, and spices. The combination of flavors and textures makes it an irresistible treat for people of all ages.

– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

2. Add the warm water to the mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
