Quick Tip! When flipping your crust, consider using another baking sheet or pizza pan to make flipping easier. First, gently pull away crust the original parchment paper, but leave it on the pan. Place another layer of parchment and a pan on top of the crust. Hold these all together, flip, and then remove the original parchment and pan. Pizza can cook the remaining 10 minutes on the new pan.
