Add the toppings
Sprinkle a small amount of flour or cornmeal on the pizza pan and place one base on the pan. Spread half of the pizza sauce. Sprinkle half of the garlic, then half of the oregano. Drizzle 15ml of olive oil on the pizza in a clockwise direction.

Bake
Gently transfer the pizza onto the pizza stone. Bake for 4-6 minutes until the cheese melts, the edges of the base puff up, and the bottom becomes crispy. Use the pizza pan to lift the pizza off. Repeat the same process with the other base.
