1
Preheat oven to 550 and place a stone on bottom if you have one. Roll and or Spread out each dough onto a piece of parchment that is on a pizza pan, a peel, or flat cookie sheet (turned upside down works great!). Cut off any excess pieces that are hanging out or else they will burn. You don't need the parchment but it will make the sliding in and out of the oven a bit easier.

About
Every pizzeria has their own version of a "Pizza Bianco" and this is mine. My husband had a favorite pizzeria in Charleston when we met and he just loved their white pizza so I learned to make one just for him. This recipe is for 2 white pizzas.
