Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. (5 minutes)
For a crispier crust, try using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a baking sheet.
Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor of your crust.
The rising time may vary depending on the temperature of your environment. The dough should double in size.
For a thinner crust, use less dough or roll it out more thinly.
If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Using cold water will slow the yeast reaction and produce a poor result.
Adding the salt at the same time as the yeast will hinder the dough rising. Always add it later.
