Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). I adore that moment when the oven starts to warm up, filling the kitchen with that comforting heat. While the oven is preheating, I take the pizza dough out of the package and let it rest on a floured surface. This really helps with the rolling process. After a few minutes, I roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick, which is just the right thickness to hold all those delicious fillings. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
