Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically around 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

Shape the Dough
On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Aim for a slightly thicker edge for a crust.

Add Olive Oil
Drizzle the olive oil over the dough and spread it evenly with your fingers, leaving the edges free.
