- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat.
- Prepare the pizza dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper.
- Make the garlic oil: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup olive oil with the minced garlic. Brush the garlic oil evenly over the pizza dough.
