The dough has good flavor for such a quick preparation. I par baked for 5 minutes in 500 oven on a pizza stone, then added tomato sauce, sausage, fresh mozzarella and home grown basil. Cooked another 10 mins. Crust was nice and crispy. Thank you for this quick recipe.

Oops, it should be 0.25 oz. i.e. a quarter of an ounce.
