5. Bake the pizza in the middle rack of a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 10-15 minutes.
*Note: Pickled bonito is very salty, so use sparingly.

*Even if you use the same temperature and time settings, the degree of doneness may vary depending on the oven model and its age. The oven temperatures and times mentioned in this article are only a guide, so please adjust the temperature and time settings to match your specific oven and avoid overcooking or undercooking the food.

*Tea leaves contain caffeine. The diuretic, stimulant and anticancer effects of caffeine intake are clinically recognized. On the other hand, excessive intake of caffeine may have a damaging effect on health. Especially, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and children should be careful with the amount of caffeine they intake.
