  3. Fire up your oven, aiming for 850°F to 950°F (450°C to 500°C) on the stone baking board inside. (Use an infrared thermometer to quickly and accurately check the temperature of the stone.)

  4. Place a dough ball on your lightly floured work surface. Push the air from the center out to the edge using your fingers. Stretch the dough out into a 12-inch base and keep, it on the countertop or lay it over your lightly floured pizza peel.
