Good, basic recipeDecember 23, 2007By mstrick96
"I don't understand the reviewer who said that the recipe doesn't include quantities. I see quantities for everything including the yeast. The quantities look pretty standard also, although I made it with about 3 cups of flour. i also ad libbed on the ingredients and added a few more things that I like. Use your imagination. Just don't load it up too much with toppings or it will be soggy."
