When you are ready to start putting together your entire pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Using olive oil spread a thin layer and cover the entire bottom and sides of a sheet pan. Once your dough has doubled in size (or use your store-bought dough), place it on an oiled sheet pan and using your hands spread the dough to fit the entire pan.

Place slices of mozzarella cheese (as the 'sauce') of the pizza on top of the dough.
