7. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees for 20 minutes.

22. Again keep in the oven for 2 more minutes.
23. At this moment keep your oven on toast mode.
24. After 2 minutes, take out the yummy pizza from the oven and serve immediately.

Chef Tips:

1. You can garnish this pizza with the grated or shredded cheese at the time of serving.
2. It is important to keep the pizza dough at warm place, but if you do not have warm place in your house then do one thing, preheat the oven to 250 degrees for 5-7 minutes. After that turn it off and leave to cool, its because we need warm place and not a hot place, now you may keep the dough in this warmed oven to rise.
3. You can freeze this pizza dough in an air tight container for 15 days for using later.
