Thanks for that info, Cindy. I've never done an overnight rise. My
recipe does say it's for 2 crusts but I always use it for one thick
one. I'll make it, then within an hour it goes in the oven with all
the toppings. Very good turnout but it's always a medium-thick crust.

I do like homemade pizza and I often experiment. IMO, no pizza is a bad
one. :-)
