Make the PizzaPreheat the oven 370°F / 187°C. Add the pizza stone to the oven to warm. Line a baking sheet if not using a pizza stone. Roll the pizza dough out but leave a nice thickness of about 1". Tip - instead of using extra flour to roll it out, you can use cornmeal which adds some delicious texture to the pizza dough. |
