Ingredients

Indoor Oven Instructions

  • With our homemade pizza dough recipe, preheat the oven to the temperature for your dough (likely 450°F) and cook for 15 minutes (rotate half way). Then turn off the oven and leave the pizza in for another 5 minutes.
  • If you have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza for 12 minutes and then slide it off the pizza pan onto the pizza stone that has been preheating in the oven with the pizza. Then turn the oven off and let the pizza finish baking on the stone for about 5 minutes.

Prepare to Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let rest on a cutting board for another 5 minutes.
    Remove from the oven.
  • Cut and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe makes a slightly thicker 12" or thinner 13" pizza.  You can easily change the amounts of the ingredients to load up your pizza even more - but be careful if doing this if you are launching your pizza.  A heavy load of toppings will be harder to manage.  In which case, you might want to parbake (partially bake) the crust by itself first - just long enough for it to set - before topping it.
