- Keep the dough at about four inches to ensure the right balance of crust and toppings.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Adding too much sauce will make the crust soggy.
- Baking too long will dry out the dough and burn decorations.
- Skipping parchment paper can cause sticking and messy cleanup.
- Overcrowding the pan prevents even cooking.
- Forgetting the edge space leaves no crispy crust for holding.
