Prepare the Pizza Base
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 12-inch round on a floured surface.

Assemble the Pizza
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute evenly over the dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
