Recipe Notes

To bake the pizza at a high temperature for a short time, the baking sheet is left in the oven while preheating. When you use the hot oven, be careful not to burn your hands.
After the dough is risen, you can store the dough balls in the fridge for 2 days. When you use the dough, gradually bring it to a room temperature before stretching.
