To use, simply remove the dough from its packaging and let it rest at room temperature for about 15-30 minutes. This allows the dough to become more pliable and easier to stretch. Lightly flour your work surface and your hands, then gently stretch or roll the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness. Transfer the shaped dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Add your sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake according to your preferred pizza recipe until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion of the pizza dough tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. It is best used within a few days of purchase to maintain its freshness and texture. Ensure it is kept cool to prevent premature rising or spoilage.
