7. Baking Instructions If you have a pizza stone or tiles, place them on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle either a wooden pizza paddle or a heavy-duty cookie sheet with cornmeal. Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Use your hands or a floured rolling pin to form 1 piece into a flat 10- to 12-inch disk (large machines) or a 6- to 8-inch disk (small machines). Add the toppings of your choice and either slide the pizza onto the hot stone or tiles, or slide the cookie sheet into the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes (large machines) or 10 to 12 minutes (small machines), depending on how thick you made the crust, or until the pizza is cooked all the way through (test the center with the point of a sharp knife). Repeat with the remaining disk. Serve hot. TIP: We find it much easier to work with chilled pizza dough. Oil a large bowl and place the dough in it after it is finished in the machine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
