REMEMBER THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees.
Spread your pizza dough out into a baking pan. Use your hands to press it out against all of the edges and create a crust. Be careful not to tear the dough anywhere as you do this.
Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese all across the dough within the crust borders.
Spread your sauce with a ladle over the cheese. Avoid getting sauce on the outer crust.
Add all of your favorite toppings over the layer of sauce, followed by another layer of cheese.
Place your pizza in your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
Carefully remove your finished pizza from the oven and slice it up. Enjoy!
