This is so very good that I have made it twice this week. I got daring and tried for the first time when I had a friend over for lunch and I wanted to try it again today. It is an easy recipe, although I have trouble getting the rounds rolled out to 9". I tried letting the dough rest and it helped a little, but not enough. Also, this second attempt I didn't use my scale and the dough was more sticky than last time. I think I will have better results using the scale next time.
The other trouble I had was with the dough burning. The bottom gets black when I have it on high, so I need to remember to turn the temp down after the cooking the first side.
I skipped the tomatoes on top this time, but they are a nice touch when you have good tomatoes. I will definitely be using this recipe a lot, and hopefully perfecting my dough technique.
I froze two of the crusts I made, so I can see how that works for a quick meal in the future.
