Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Roll out the pizza dough into an oval shape.
To make a rectangle pizza, pull the corners of the oval dough to stretch it into a rectangle. For a square, roll the dough into a circle, then pull on the corners to stretch it into a square.
Place the shaped dough onto a cookie sheet.
Spread pizza sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Add shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy your rectangle or square-shaped pizza!
Notes
Use a bread machine to make the dough or buy pre-made dough for convenience. Adjust cooking time based on your dough thickness and toppings.
