    Can all-purpose flour be used for making the dough?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You can typically assume that "flour" is all-purpose flour unless it specifically states otherwise.

      • You can bake the dough for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and add cheese and sauce. Return the dough to the oven to bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.

      Warnings

      • Check on the dough after it has been baking for 10 minutes. Thinly spread dough will cook faster and get crispier.
