  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  7. Place the rolled-out dough on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
  8. Add your desired toppings to the pizza.
  9. Bake the pizza for about 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
