===How to ensure a crispy base===
===How to ensure a crispy base===
Having made these deep pan pizzas many, many times, I've found that sometimes it's hard to get the base well cooked without burning the rest of the [[pizza dough]].  I've found the best way is to use a metal-based pan, similar to a baking tray.  The metal base gets hot enough to crisp the base properly.  I have a cast iron  rectangular Le Creuset baking tray that is absolutely ideal.  It seems a shame as it will mean I'll never use my earthenware deep pan pizza dish again!
