Instructions
- If you use our homemade pizza dough recipe, make the dough and proof it according to the instructions there. Then continue from here.
- Transfer one ball of dough to a flat surface dusted with semolina or cornmeal. Sprinkle the top with flour if needed (or simply just turn the dough upside-down). Use your fingertips to gently depress the round, stretching and pulling the dough gently into a circle. For a bubbly outer crust, don't depress the outer circumference.
- Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Add parchment paper to a baking tray, and transfer the pizza crust with your hand to the tray. Gently arrange the crust back to a circle shape.
- Spread tomato sauce and mozzarella slices equally.
- Bake it for 10-15 minutes or until the outer crust gets some color.

Notes
Use a pizza stone! - We recommend using a pizza stone in the highest position of the oven since you will have the best pizza if you can manage to bake it on the highest heat possible. The pizza stone is already hot when you place the pizza dough on top resulting in a perfect crispy bottom crust. Read our pizza dough recipe for more details on how to bake a pizza with a pizza stone.
