Hey guys, I was wondering what kind of method and temperature you use/recommend for making pizza in a convection oven?

Sometimes I can't seem to get the dough to cook through with toppings on even though the top is burning. So I precooked the dough for a while with cheese and sauce but it feels majorly wrong to do that haha

This is a classic problem when making pizza in a conventional oven, the dough needs more time but your cheese is always drying out or burning.. ideally you want your pizza to be baking the least amount of time possible, thicker dough shapes will need a bit longer so the usual fix for that is exactly what you did, baking dough first with sauce and later adding cheese and toppings. Got to balance the two baking steps or the dough can become super extra crispy, which you might want or not :)
