Notes
Pizza dough instructions: Different pizza dough varieties have different cooking times so check the instructions on the package.
Shaping the dough: Stretch the dough into a rectangle, oval or even heart-shaped individual pizzas if you like.
The perfect doneness: Depending on your oven, it can take anywhere between 10 and 15 minutes to bake the pizza. It's done when the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden brown on the edges.
