Preparation

Step 1

Combining the dough and the toppings!
Place dough ball on lightly floured surface and lightly flour the top. Using rolling pin, roll out a thin circle, using lots of flour on both sides to prevent sticking.
Top with spaghetti sauce, grated cheese mixture, and your choice of toppings.
Bake in a 500+ degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until bottom of crust is golden. To check doneness, gently lift the the pizza using either a fork or a spatula/pancake flipper to reveal the underside of the crust. The pizza is done when the underside has considerable browning.
