Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s start with the dough – the star of the show! If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps make it easier to roll out. If you’re feeling adventurous and opt for homemade dough, I highly recommend my go-to recipe for the fluffiest crust! Once your dough is nice and pliable, flour your countertop and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. You want to make sure it’s even so that it bakes nicely.
