Tips and Tricks:

• You can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• If you don't have a pizza pan, you can use a baking sheet or a pizza stone.
• Feel free to get creative with your toppings and use your favorite ingredients.
• To make a crispy crust, place a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven while it's preheating. This will create a hot surface for the pizza to cook on.
