Assemble and Bake:
- Carefully remove the hot pizza stones from the oven. Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot stones. Brush the dough with a little olive oil, then add your desired toppings generously.
- Slide the pizzas back into the oven and bake at 500ยฐF (260ยฐC) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
