Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
*You can make 2 pizzas right away if you’re serving a larger group. Just press and bake the other half of the dough on a second pizza pan and double the toppings. Or prebake the second crust, only through step 3, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. Unwrap and thaw before topping and baking as directed in step 4.
