• 3 when dough is ready, put in onto a floured surface & roll out to the size of your pizza / desired pan. lightly flour/oil pan so dough will not bake on.
• 4 lightly brush the dough with olive oil, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and additional italian seasonings (if desired).
• 5 **if doing a thicker crust, pre-bake the dough for 4 to 5 minutes, then add toppings.
• 6 bake at 450 for 10 - 14 minutes (depending on thickness of crust). if you partially baked it earlier, it will not take the full 10 minutes, so you will need to check it after 7 or 8 minutes.
