Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces of pizza dough (raw pizza dough. Homemade or store bought)
1/2 cup prepared tomato sauce
2 cups shredded pizza cheese I like a blend of cheddar and mozzarella
Assorted toppings: Pepperoni peppers, tomatoes, sausage, olives

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Add the oil to the sheet pan and spread it around to coat the pan evenly.
If you’re using fresh made dough or cold refrigerated dough, let it rest and come up to room temperatue for 30 minutes before stretching.
Place the dough onto the oiled sheet pan and begin stretching it out with your hands. Once it's partially stretched, flip the dough over—this will coat the other side in oil. Finish stretching the dough to fit the pan. It’s fine if it doesn’t reach all the corners. Tip: If the dough is pulling back, let it rest 10 to 15 minutes and then continue stretching.
Top with the sauce, cheese, and any toppings you love.
Bake at 450°F for 15-20 minutes, until the edges have risen and the cheese is golden brown.
While the pizza is hot, remove it from the sheet pan and on to a cutting board. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Enjoy and refrigerate leftovers.

Notes

If you're using fresh herbs, add those to the top after baking so they don't burn.
