    1 tsp. Oregano
    3/4 cup (3 oz.) Mozzarella Cheese, part skim

Tips

-There is cheese in the crust, so you can save calories by NOT adding any to the top!

-Spread "dough" evenly over pan or foil, about 1/4" to 1/3" thick. (About 9"-10" diameter).
-Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden, crispy on the edges and cooked through the middle.
