   Note

   The tomatoes should be golden and softened but still holding their shape.

   Step 3Cook the dough

   Place the pizza dough in a pizza oven or very hot oven until it puffs and develops char marks on both sides.

   Note

   A pizza oven runs around 800°F; in a conventional oven, use the highest setting with a pizza stone.
