Baking a pizza should be categorized as **an endothermic process because the dough absorbs heat**.

In the baking process, heat is transferred from the oven to the dough, causing the dough to rise and cook. Since the system (the pizza dough) absorbs heat from its surroundings (the oven), it is classified as an endothermic reaction.
