Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and firm.
  6. Remove from the oven, spread the tomato sauce, and add your favorite toppings.
  7. Bake for another 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
