Bake

Ingredients

• 1 boule pizza dough (as created above in the "Dough" section)
• 4 tbsp tomato paste
• a variety of toppings (to taste and preference)

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 450F at least 1 hour before intending to bake the pizza. Allow 10 mins assembly time.
2. Place dough onto a well-floured surface.
3. Roll the dough out into a 9 in circle using a well-floured rolling pin. Rotate the dough through 90 degrees and flip upside-down after each roll.
4. Ensure both sides of the dough are well-floured after it’s rolled out.
5. Transfer to a well-floured peel. From here on, work very quickly so that the dough does not start sticking to the peel.
6. Dock the dough by pricking it with a fork all over its surface.
