  3. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined pizza pan, shaping it into a crust.

  2. Remove from the oven and add your desired toppings.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

For best texture, serve slices hot from the oven. Let the pizza rest a few minutes for cleaner slicing. Use bowls of toppings for customization.
