Notes
Feel free to mix and match fillings to suit your taste. Try adding cooked sausage, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor. Make sure your fillings are not too watery to avoid soggy dough. Brush the dough with olive oil before adding toppings for extra flavor and a nice crust. For a vegetarian version, exclude the meats and add more veggies like zucchini, artichokes, or spinach.
