HOW TO MAKE: OVEN BAKED PIZZA
Making pizza at home is fun and simple! Just follow these instructions:
Thaw frozen dough by placing in refrigerator for a minimum of 12 hours. Or, thaw on counter for 3 hours until the center of the dough is thawed enough to be cut. Just before making, let rest on the counter for 30 minutes or until dough comes to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Let dough come to room temperature. Meanwhile, gather and prepare your ingredients, toppings, and equipment. You will also need a pizza slicer, knife, fork or tongs, oven mitt, and a 14-16 inch pizza pan. We recommend a pizza pan with holes as shown: https://www.amazon.com/Fox-Run-4491-Crisper-Non-Stick/dp/B000XTOKAO
Flour surface and remove dough from bag. Use fingers to gently pull dough away from the bag if it's sticking.
Mold dough into a smooth round ball by pulling the dough from the front, and pinching it together in the back.
Then work the dough ball into an oblong shape about 8 inches long. Cut the dough in half. Set one piece aside and cover.
Flatten the dough out into 12 inch round flat pizza shells. Place the other piece cut-side up on the counter and use fingers to work dough outwards. This makes a more circular crust for your pizza! Dough should be about 2 mm thick.
Place dough onto the pan. Use cornmeal for texture and to prevent from sticking (optional). Gently stretch the dough towards the outer pan edge.
Top as desired.
Bake for 8 minutes or until bottom is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, cut and enjoy!
