Lightly grease 12-inch pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal, if desired. Flatten dough into round disk; press dough into pan. Add sauce, desired toppings; sprinkle cheese over toppings. Bake in 425 degree oven 20 to 30 minutes, or until crust is brown and cheese is melted. Timing varies according to amount and number of toppings. Use sharp knife or pizza wheel to cut into wedges.
