Leave the dough covered in a bowl for at least 4-5 hours to rise. In a round oven tray put some flour and lay the dough on it. Add more flour if the dough is too wet. With your hands make it flat following the movements in the pictures.

Hold the left side of the dough with your left hand, and pull it outward with your right hand in a circular motion, rotating clockwise after each time. Repeat this movement among the perimeter of the circle. Never try to streach the center.

Cover the pizza with mozzarella (in this case we used a shredded mozzarella cheese that usually makes less water in the oven and you can leave it on the pizza for the entire time of cooking. If you want to use the fresh one, add it in the middle of the cooking, you can find examples in other pizza recipes).
Slice the tomatoes and add them on top of the mozzarella.

Add oregano on top and cook in the oven at 200°C (390F) for 25 min. Check it once or twice to make sure it's not becoming too dry. You can ad some olive oil in case.

The mozzarella should not get too tanned. You can cut it in squares and have it for appetizer. Serve warm.
