"I've been making this recipe for years. Make sure to bake it until it starts turning golden. After putting the toppings and cheese on top it goes back into the oven until bubbly and golden. Your pizza..." See more turns out delicous and crispier this way. The crust is better with herbs and garlic added to it also."
