Legends Pizza Kit Preparation and Cooking:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). This ensures a consistent cooking environment for your pizza.
- Prepare the Dough: Gently remove the dough from its packaging. Dust your hands and a clean, flat surface lightly with flour. Then, evenly apply a light coating of flour on all sides of the dough to prevent sticking.
- Shape the Dough: Place the dough on the floured surface. Start by pushing down on the dough ball with your fingertips, gently expanding its size. Keep the thickness uniform for even cooking.
- Stretch the Dough: Continue stretching the dough to your preferred size and shape. You can either use your hands to pull and rotate the dough, or a rolling pin for a more uniform thickness. Aim for a consistent thickness to ensure even baking.
- Prepare Baking Surface: Place the stretched dough onto a pre-prepared pizza stone or a non-stick baking sheet. If using a pizza stone, ensure it's been preheated in the oven. This will help in achieving a crispier crust.
- Add Toppings: Evenly spread the provided pizza sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the sauce, and then add your chosen toppings. Distribute them evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on the pizza; it's done when the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust is a light golden color.
- Serving: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes to allow the cheese to set. Then, slice it into even pieces using a pizza cutter or a large, sharp knife. Serve hot and enjoy!
Note: Oven temperatures may vary. Keep an eye on your pizza as baking times can slightly differ depending on the oven and the thickness of your dough.
