    Yes. You can typically assume that "flour" is all-purpose flour unless it specifically states otherwise.

      Tips

      • Cook pizza for five minutes and then add toppings.

      Warnings

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