Remove crust from oven, top with pizza toppings and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.

This is a good pizza crust for a spur of the moment pizza. In less than 30 minutes you can have a crust reading for topping. The drawback is that it lacks the flavour and texture of a crust made with dough that has fermented for a longer period of time. I added onion powder, garlic powder and dried herbs to the dough, which helped somewhat with the flavour. The baked crust was slightly bready, like focaccia.
