Recipe does not work as well with all white flour. If using all white, use 3/4 C water and an extra 1/2 C flour. It produces a heavier dough so be sure not to overcook.
A great Halloween Jack'o'lantern Pizza (inspired by Papa Murphy's): spread the sauce on the crust, put a layer (6-8 oz) of mozzarella cheese, cover that with pepperoni, then add a layer of cheddar cheese for the pumpkin color, then make a face out of pepperoni on the top. Kids love it!
Maybe I'm just be stupid, but I have a few questions:
1)Do you really "remove crust from pizza and fill with toppings"? If so, I need more instructions on this step.
2)"Cook pizza as directed" by what?
Answers to Sherrie:
1) If you read between the lines, you'll find that step 7 actually says to remove the crust from the pizza stone.
2) This is a recipe for a pizza crust and thereby assumes that you are following some directions for the actual pizza i.e. toppings--and if you're freelancing with pepperoni and/or cheese then you would follow the second half of that direction, "or until cheese is melted . . ."
