Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this pizza up to 30 minutes ahead of time. Keep it warm at very low temperatures in the oven, e.g., 150 to 160°.
- How to Store: Cover with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can cover and freeze this for up to 3 months. See reheating instructions below for freezer cooking.
- How to Reheat: Add the pizza to a preheated oven with the stone and cook at 350° for 4 to 6 minutes or until hot and the cheese is melted.
- How to Reheat from Frozen: Add the frozen pizza back to a preheated oven with a pizza stone and cook at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until hot and the cheese is melted.
- Feel free to use any of your favorite toppings, including vegetables, cheeses, or meats.
- You can also get creative with the cheeses as well including using things like pepper jack or fontina.
- If you do not have a stone, you can preheat a baking sheet pan.
