Make the PizzaPreheat the oven to 450°F / 232°C. Add the pizza stone to the oven to warm (optional). 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. |
