  • Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the Oven

  • While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Roll Out the Dough

  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll out the dough into your desired shape, about ¼ inch thick.

Add the Sauce

  • Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Top with Cheese

  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Add Toppings

  • Add your favorite toppings, such as sliced bell peppers or mushrooms.

  • Transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
