Artisan Pizza Dough

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours before using.

Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically 500°F (260°C), with a pizza stone or baking steel inside.

Shape the Dough:

On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into two equal portions (for two pizzas).

Gently stretch and shape each portion into a 10-12 inch round, being careful not to deflate the dough. Create a thicker edge for the crust.

Add Toppings and Bake:

Transfer the shaped dough to a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal.

Add your desired toppings.

Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking steel and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is bubbly, crispy, and golden brown.

Serve:

Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
