Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the packaging, usually around 400-425 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for the indicated time, typically 10-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
