Tips:

For a thin and crispy crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet.
If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can use a greased baking pan.
To make the dough easier to work with, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
To prevent the toppings from sliding off the pizza, pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding them.
Bake the pizza in a hot oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
