Followed the enclosed recipe, with a few twists. - Let the dough rest for a bit in a small bowl coated with olive oil, covered with a damp cloth. Sat it on top of the oven while it was preheating. - Made "almost" my own pizza sauce. Sauteed a bit of garlic in olive oil for 1 minute, added 1 small can of tomato sauce, a bit of oregano, heated until just bubbling, then turned down to a simmer. Not a bad idea to do this as early as possible, to simmer it and allow for the sauce to thicken. - When the oven was hot, I sauced the pizza dough, sliced up some mozzarella, and added some parmesan cheese. - cooked it at 500 for about 8 minutes
