Tips:
For a crispier crust, preheat the skillet or baking sheet in the oven before adding the dough.
Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
Add any toppings you like, such as sliced vegetables, cooked meats, or herbs.
Experiment with different pizza sauces and crust variations to create your own unique pizza.
