and char pepperoni. Once the dough has risen for a few hours, spread the cheese evenly all the way to the edges of the pan, completely lining the rim and middle. On top of the cheese, spread sauce in lines on a diagonal. The sauce can be sporadic or in even neat lines. The choice is yours, although there should not be too much sauce all over. Only about six ounces total. Place the topped pizza in a gas brick oven preheated to 525 F and bake for 10-12 minutes. Check the pizza around the eightminute mark and check the edges for darkening crispy cheese. The cheese should be caramelized and a goldenbrown color when finished. Carefully slide the pizza out of the pan trying not to break off the cheese around the edges. Cut into six slices and enjoy.
