Preparation
STEP 1
Remove pizza dough from refrigerator. Proof (the final rise) on counter in a warm place until the dough expands and gets soft and stretchy. About 30 minutes. It will almost double in size.
STEP 2
Preheat oven or grill to high or 450˚ F. Preheat pizza stone in oven If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven or grill as well. Prep your toppings of choice.
STEP 3
Divide pizza dough in half to make 2–12-inch pizzas. Leave whole to make one large. On a floured surface, stretch pizza dough to desired shape.
STEP 4
Add toppings. Transfer to pizza stone or greased sheet pan. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes.
Options
• If cooking on a pizza stone, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or line with parchment paper for easy transfer to your preheated stone.
• When cooking the pizza on a sheet pan, thinly coat the bottom with olive oil before adding dough. You can press the dough to the edges with your fingers. This is also a fun way to turn your pizza into focaccia by adding olive oil, fresh rosemary, and sea salt to the top.
• When cooking pizza on the grill it is best to make the pizzas smaller so they fit and are easy to flip. Divide dough ball in quarters. Stretch to desired shape. Coat with a thin layer of olive oil and lay flat on grill, oil side down. Grill for approximately 2 minutes until dough is marked by grates. Lightly oil the other side, flip and add toppings. Cook for another 2-5 minutes until crust is brown and cheese is melted. If crust is easily burning, use indirect cooking (move heat to one side and cook on other).
