# Instructions:

Preheat oven to 260°C or as high as possible. Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet inside to preheat for at least 30 minutes. Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 30 cm round.

Carefully transfer the prepared dough onto the preheated stone or sheet. Bake for 8–12 minutes until the crust turns golden and the cheese is bubbling and browned.
