Drain wet ingredients well. Fresh mozzarella, mushrooms and roasted vegetables can release enough moisture to soften the centre.

Quick launch checklist

Heat thoroughlyPreheat the stone or steel until the centre—not only the oven air—has reached baking temperature.
Build quicklyDust the peel lightly, shape the dough, then add toppings just before launching so it cannot stick.
Test the slideShake the peel gently before approaching the oven. Lift and add a pinch of flour beneath any sticky spot.
Optional equipment: An infrared thermometer helps confirm surface temperature, while a perforated pizza peel can make launching easier.
