Success
For a light, tender crust, use very hot water and stir only 20 times. Stirring the dough too much will make the crust tough.

Variation
Make this extra-easy pizza an extra-cheesy pizza. Leave off the pepperoni, mushrooms and bell pepper, and top instead with the mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese.
