• 4 place in a well-greased 12-inch perforated pizza pan.
• 5 trim dough with a knife or pizza wheel to fit inside the diameter of the pan.
• 6 pierce dough with a fork every half-inch to prevent air bubbles.
• 7 (this will ultimately be your top crust.) prebake this crust for 5 minutes; remove crust from pan and place on a wire rack to cool.
• 8 prepare the second crust for the pan in the same way, but remove the excess dough around the edges by rolling a rolling pin over the top of the pan to form a lip on the crust.

• 10 combine 3/4 cup mozzarella and remaining cheeses and spread evenly over this crust.
• 11 put the partially baked crust on top of the cheese layer.
• 12 spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce over this top crust, then scatter the toppings of your choice, starting with meats, then vegetables.
• 13 finish with the final 2 cups of mozzarella.
• 14 bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
