Top with the seasoning, veggies, and cheese, then return the pizza to the oven for 10 minutes. Slice into 8 wedges and serve!Chef's Tips:King Arthur makes a great white whole wheat flour. You can also use all-purpose flour.It is best to measure the flour by pouring into a cup and then leveling it off. Do not scoop the flour out of the bag with the measuring cup or you will pack it and make the dough too dry.You can refrigerate the dough for up to 8 hours before using it. Make it in the morning and then stick it in the refrigerator until you get home. It will rise slowly all day long.
