How long to cook homemade pizza at 450 degrees Fahrenheit?

First, I preheat the oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit. This takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes. After the oven is preheated, I place the pizza pan in the center of the oven. I set my timer for about 8 minutes, usually, this is the perfect amount of time. However, you want the pizza to be golden brown on the top. So sometimes you might need to leave it in for a few minutes longer. The cheese should be bubbly and melted. Once it is melted to your liking, the pizza is done! After it is done, make sure to let it cool for a few minutes because it will be very hot, then grab your pizza cutter and get to slicing!

The ingredients you add to your pizza are entirely up to you! The first thing you will need is your dough. You can either make your dough at home or buy pre-made dough at the store. I usually stock up on pre-made dough and store it in my freezer. Some popular toppings for pizza include but definitely are not limited to pepperoni, sausage, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms! I usually have fresh mushrooms and extra pepperoni slices on mine!

How do i put my homemade pizza together?

This is one of the easiest steps of making homemade pizza! First,  get your pizza pan. Then, spray it with oil to prevent sticking and spread the dough evenly over the pan. Next, add the pizza sauce.
