Instructions

- Add Cheese and Sauce: Sprinkle mozzarella over dough, then dot sauce over the cheese.
- Add Toppings: Add desired toppings, then bake on the bottom rack for 18-20 minutes until crust is golden and cheese melts.
- Finish: Cool briefly, run a knife around the edges, transfer to a cutting board, and serve hot.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the pizza dough is at room temperature before using.
