Make pizza at home with store-bought dough and get amazing results! I have taught you how to make homemade dough, and you can use that recipe for your pizzas, but sometimes you just don’t have the time or the ingredients to make your dough from scratch.

Today I will show you how to make a perfect pizza at home with store-bought dough (or even frozen).

This trick has been in my family for decades, and it’s always been a big hit when we serve it to guests.

How To Cook?

Pizza is a portion of great comfort food that is easy to make and even easier to eat.

But sometimes, you don’t have the time or energy to make your dough. That’s where the store-bought dough comes in! Here’s how to make the perfect pizza using store-bought dough. 

1) Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly flour a clean work surface for rolling out dough.

Roll out one package of store-bought dough into a 12-inch round on top of the floury surface until it becomes about 1/4 inch thick.

Then use a round cookie cutter (or something similar) to cut out as many circles as possible from the rolled-out crust.

Transfer these circles onto an ungreased baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap while preparing toppings if desired (to prevent drying). 

2) Sprinkle cheese over rounds. You can also add other toppings like pepperoni, sausage, ham, or vegetables of choice–be sure not to overload the crusts so they don’t get soggy! 

3) Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven before adding sauce and any additional toppings. You may want to bake each topping separately so flavours aren’t mixed prematurely–it can be hard to tell what flavour came from what topping when mixed too early!

For example, you might bake pepperoni after cooking the sauce, then add some sliced onions during the last few minutes. Baking veggies beforehand will give them a crispy exterior and soft interior. 

After 10 minutes, remove pizzas from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with a side salad or garlic breadsticks. Enjoy!
