I made this , this last weekend,, my kids raved about it ,, but I think I would prefer pizza dough, I added garlic, and oregano, I do cook it about 20 min,,starting out with a 400 oven, and cutting back to 350 when I put it in. it seemed to be missing something ,,I think Marinara sauce,, pizza dough,,and put under the broiler for a sec,,would improve things.

Does look good. I may try it. As far as the serving size..... it doesn't say how big a serving size is. I then clicked on "print" and that window brought up the recipe to print out and it says "6 servings".

The nutritional information says it's for 1 serving, but I couldn't find anywhere how many servings are in the entire recipe. Anyone know?

This was yummy but definitely have to put more cheese on bfore adding tomato or something because under the tomato the dough wasnt cooked thoroughly and was kinda soggy. I ended up putting it under a broiler for a bit and it was good. I want to try marinara sauce with this too!
