# Steps:
01 -
Turn the oven to 475°F (245°C) and let it warm up. If you’ve got a pizza stone, pop it in while it heats.

On a lightly dusted surface, roll out the dough to your preferred thickness and place it on parchment paper.

Bake the crust for 5-7 minutes until it’s lightly golden.

Put the parchment-covered pizza on your hot pizza stone or a baking tray. Let it bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges turn golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Let it cool down for a bit after taking it out of the oven. Sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley on top, then slice it up and serve.
