Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Dough
If you're using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions. If making from scratch, prepare your pizza dough and let it rise according to your recipe.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Customize your pizza with your choice of toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.).

Season and Drizzle
Drizzle olive oil over the toppings. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste.
