Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your pizza dough.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness for a crispy crust.

  8. Season the pizza with salt and pepper to taste.
Baking
  1. Place the pizza in the oven and bake according to the dough's instructions, typically around 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  2. Once baked, take the pizza out and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  3. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch.
  4. Slice and serve while hot.
