Or use the facade:

You can chain the methods:

You can change the orientation and paper size, and hide or show errors (by default, errors are shown when debug is on)

If you need the output as a string, you can get the rendered PDF with the output() function, so you can save/output it yourself.

Use php artisan vendor:publish to create a config file located at config/dompdf.php which will allow you to define local configurations to change some settings (default paper etc). You can also use your ConfigProvider to set certain keys.
