Putting it all together

I realise that some of the information on this site is split into smaller articles. The steps below take you through the process from start to finish, linking to the relevant articles along the way in case you just want to wade in and start cooking!

1. Mix your pizza dough according to the recipe you have chosen.
2. Shape the dough into balls and allow to rest for as long as directed in your recipe.
3. 1 hour before starting to cook, preheat a pizza stone in your oven at the highest temperature possible.
4. When the oven is properly preheated, take a dough ball and shape into a base.
5. Place the base on a floured peel.
6. Add toppings according to the recipe of your choice.
7. Slide the pizza from the peel onto the heated stone.
8. Cook for 5-10 minutes, turning once during cooking if necessary. Optionally, turn on the grill for the last few minutes to really crisp the top.
9. Enjoy!
