Ingredients
  

Dried Herbs and Spices
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that’s essential.
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil Offers a hint of sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder Provides a savory depth with a subtle kick.
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder Contributes sweetness and umami notes.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Adds mild heat and enhances the other flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Offers a touch of heat, balancing the savory herbs.
  • 1 teaspoon sugar Brings a slight sweetness that contrasts the acidity.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dried herbs and spices thoroughly.
  2. Taste the mixture and modify the ingredient ratios to suit your flavor preference.
  3. Transfer the prepared seasoning mix into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Serving
  1. Use your favorite pizza dough and spread your preferred sauce evenly.
  2. Sprinkle a liberal amount of the seasoning blend over the sauce and toppings.
  3. Follow your pizza dough instructions for optimal baking temperature and time, usually around 450°F until the crust is golden and toppings are bubbly.
  4. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving to retain flavor and texture.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, consider using fresh herbs or adding smoked paprika. Store the seasoning mix in a cool, dark place to extend freshness.
