Trying to use the cookbooks

That pizza looks yummy.

I see that you bake the crust first and then put the toppings on. When I make pizza, I just put the toppings on the raw dough and bake it all at once.

Looks like yours would end up with a more crispy crust. Is that right?

I make my own dough and put the toppings on the uncooked dough. Turns out great! How do you get the toppings cooked and not burn the already cooked crust?

I suppose it might be more crispy - It was my first time making pizza dough from scratch. It actually might've been too crispy. When I went to cut the chicken one, it kind of crumbled a little bit.

I think the key was to take it out when it was just browning, not completely brown. The cooking afterwards was only about 10 minutes, plus I kept checking to make sure it didn't burn.

Next time, I will probably try a different recipe. Especially since I have done it once now, it's not as intimidating.
