• Let rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
• While dough is rising, put pizza stone in lowest position of oven (on oven floor if gas, lowest rack position if electric; remove other racks in either case) and preheat oven to highest setting (500-550°F; allow about 1 hour to preheat with stone).
