I'm Chef Anthony Marino, and I'm gonna show you how to make pizza in five easy steps. It may seem to you that making pizza is difficult, or time consuming. But, with some practice, you can make fresh pizza in your home. When you're working in your own kitchen, place a pizza stone in your oven and pre-heat to 500 degrees. On a floured hard surface, place your dough, which should also be floured, and stretch it using your fingertips, making sure you leave about a one inch crust. When you have roughly doubled the size, pick it up and gently stretch out the edges of the dough. Try not to touch the center. It will stretch without any help. Now, lay the dough on the peel, spread four ounces of sauce on the dough, and sprinkle, roughly, five ounces of mozzarella cheese, leaving about a one inch crust. Shake the peel back and forth to make sure it doesn't stick, and then slide the pizza into the oven. Bake at 500 degrees for about nine to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden. And, here's your finished pizza! With a little practice, using these five steps, you'll be making professional pizza, right at home!
