Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle or circle, about 1/8 inch thick.

- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.

- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spread the seasoned dough pieces in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top of the dough pieces.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes to crisp up.
