  1. One of your instructions says:
    Once properly combined place the mixture into the baking tin & pat it down into a circle onto a pizza pan.
    What do you mean by baking tin? a cookie sheet?
    what do you mean by pizza pan? I have a pizza stone… are you saying to put the pizza stone on the cookie sheet and put the crust on top?
    I’ve never made pizza before… not sure I understand this process.
    thanks
