Notes

The thin curst pizza makes enough dough for two crusts. If you want to make 2 pizzas, please double the ingredients in this recipe. In my house, we usually only make one spinach and artichoke pizza and one margherita pizza or meat lovers pizza.
Extra pizza dough can be refrigreated in a plastic bag for up to 1 week.
