Roll out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness (about 1/4 inch thick is standard).
Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the rolled-out dough onto a greased pizza stone or baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread the Sauce: Evenly distribute the pizza sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Layer the Cheese: Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add Your Favorite Toppings: Layer on your chosen toppings, making sure not to overload the pizza.
Step 5: Bake
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 6: Enjoy
Once done, remove the pizza from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy every delicious bite!
Presentation Tips
Slice Neatly: Use a sharp pizza cutter to create even slices.
Garnish: Drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil or sprinkle fresh basil on top for a burst of flavor.
Serve with Style: Present the pizza on a wooden board or traditional pizza peel, accompanied by a small bowl of extra pizza sauce for dipping.
