• If sticky, add some more flour until it's firm.
• Put it in the refrigerator and let it sit for a day.
• If you don't have a day, let it rise for a couple of hours, punching it down when it doubles.
• This will develop a much better flavor and crust.
• If your in a hurry the dough can go into the oven as soon as you roll it out, and let it rise for 15 minutes.
• This is a very forgiving recipe so don't worry.
• Now when your ready to bake, separate the dough into 3 pieces.
• With a little flour scattered on your counter, roll each piece of dough out into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
• Set on greased baking sheets.
• Then let the dough proof or raise for 15 minutes.
• Then put your fingers into the dough, making some impressions, brush with melted butter or olive oil, and then very lightly with Italian sauce.
• Get creative with your toppings if you want.
• Parmesan, and fresh rosemary are great.
• Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes until nicely browned and crusty.
• The bottom should be brown as well.
