Pizza Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Prepare the Dough
On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer it to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Season
Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
Bake the Pizza
Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Slice and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve hot.
