- Add the tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook, stirring for 1 minute more.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes; discard the garlic.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 T olive oil over the dough; spoon the tomato mixture on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Bake until golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cheese, crushed red pepper and oregano on top and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
