Carefully slide the pizza onto the stone (position the peel over the back edge of the stone, and use a rocking motion to shake and slide the pizza off the peel onto the stone), or place the pan in the hot oven. Bake the pizza for 5 minutes, then rotate it front to back for even baking. Bake for another 3 to 6 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly, and the edges of the dough are golden brown, puffed and crispy. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the reserved chopped fresh herbs, and let rest on a rack for 3 to 4 minutes before slicing.
