Classic Margherita Pizza

1 recipe basic pizza dough 
3/4 cup marinara sauce 
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
6 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
8 fresh basil leaves ( I always use dried basil)

1. Heat oven to 500 degrees F. Coat a 14-inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 14-inch circle. Gently roll up onto a lightly floured rolling pin and unroll onto prepared pizza pan.

3. Spread sauce evenly over dough to within 1/2 inch of edge. Sprinkle oregano over the sauce. Arrange mozzarella over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake at 500 degrees F for 12 to 13 minutes or until nicely browned on bottom. Remove from oven.

4. Garnish with basil. Cool slightly and cut into 8 slices; serve.
