Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Bake for the recommended time, usually 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
