Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Place a pizza stone, pizza pan, or large cookie sheet in the oven.
  • Make your dough. Lay out a sheet of parchment paper. Stretch your dough to desired size on the parchment paper (make sure it will fit on your stone or pan).
  • Top with desired sauce and toppings.
  • Once the oven is preheated, carefully use a pizza peel or cutting board to transfer the pizza dough on the parchment to the hot pan. Be careful not to burn yourself.
  • Cook pizza, depending on size and thickness, until the edges are golden and the center is cooked through. This can take anywhere from 8-15 minutes.
  • Cool slightly before serving.
