Ingredients

• 1 (12 inch)  pizza dough (preferably New York-style pizza dough)
• 2  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3⁄4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1  tablespoon  minced garlic
• 1 3⁄4 cups  whole-milk mozzarella cheese, coarsely shredded
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  dried oregano

Directions

1. Position an oven rack on the second-lowest level in the oven and place a baking stone on the rack; position another rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat oven to 500°.
2. Coat a 12-inch pizza screen or perforated pizza pan with cooking spray.
3. Lay the dough on the prepared screen or pan and gently stretch dough into a 12-inch round.
4. Top the pizza: brush the dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil; spread the ricotta evenly over the dough, leaving a ¼-inch border.
5. Sprinkle the garlic over the top; sprinkle the mozzarella over the top.
6. Crush the oregano between your fingers and sprinkle evenly over the cheese and crust.
7. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top.
8. Place the pizza in the oven on the upper rack; bake about 8 minutes, until the crust is crisp and golden brown.
9. Using a pizza peel, lift the pizza off the screen/pan and place the crust directly on the baking stone; remove the screen/pan from the oven.
10. Continue baking the pizza until the bottom of the crust is golden, about 3 minutes.
11. Using the peel, remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a cutting board.
12. Slice pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
