3. Brush olive oil evenly over the dough.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly across the top.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese becomes bubbly.
6. Meanwhile, whisk melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt together.

Do not overbake or the cheese may become too crisp.
Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
