Really nice pizza crust. Ours was not thick crust but there was a little operator error which might have had something to do with that. I used a white wheat flour and I loved how the cornmeal gave this some extra texture. I cooked both crusts right away. On one I put bottled sauce and shredded mozzarella. On the second I put Recipe#13044, crumbled goat cheese, and homegrown tomato chunks. Great dinner. Thanks.
