Instructions

  • Turn on your oven, set it to the highest heat possible, and let it preheat completely. This takes at least 20 minutes, but for some models it can take up to an hour. If you have a convection oven, or better yet one with a pizza setting, turn those settings on.

  • Get your pizza ready in a pizza pan with the sauce and the toppings.

  • Place the pizza pan on the lowest rack in your oven, but not directly on the bottom. Baking time depends on your oven and pizza size. I find that a regular pizza needs about 10 minutes, while a small pizza bakes in about 8 minutes.

  • Your pizza is ready when the edge is crisp and lightly browned. Take it out of the oven, and let it rest for 1 minute. Your perfectly baked homemade pizza is now ready to be served.
