Turn your oven on!

(425F and put your stone in, if you have one)

I haven't made pizza in years. Probably since Lee's was open.

What better way to get back into the thick of things, than by trying it out at home.
It's a simple way to utilize fresh ingredients, it's fairly cheap, and if you set yourself up ahead of time, it's pretty fast too!

Ingredients:

Pizza Dough
Corn meal (sparingly, so your dough doesn't stick when you transfer it)
Flour
Marinara sauce
Toppings (we chose): cheddar/mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, onions, peppers, prosciutto, anchovies, arugula, basil.

Now that you've got your ingredients sprawled out everywhere, you know you're ready to begin.

Turn on some jams!

Make sure you take your dough out of the plastic and set it in a bowl so that it can rise, and warm up a little. This prevents your stone from cracking (due to hot/cold temperatures)

This is the point where you want to start prepping all the ingredients. Chopping, peeling, opening, slicing. Your stone should be in the oven - if you haven't turned it on already, what are you waiting for?!. And if you don't have a stone, that's totally fine, just put a baking sheet in the oven.

You want to make sure your oven is nice and hot, so make sure it's been on for at least forty-five minutes (after it's done preheating)

Once that's done. You're ready to assemble.

Grab a bit of corn meal and some flour and put it on a flat surface (if you don't have a board you use another baking sheet or some aluminum foil on top of a flat surface). Mix it around and spread it across the whole surface, so your dough doesn't stick.
