Cook

  • Split dough in two to four pieces, depending on the number of pizzas and desired thickness
  • With a rolling pin, work dough until flattened and at desired shape.
  • Top with all your favorite toppings
  • If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven 20 minutes before cooking so it is as hot as an oven/grill
  • Dust with cornmeal before placing pizza on the pan or stone
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and off stone or pan
  • Let sit for a few minutes to partially cool so it cuts easily and cleanly
