> nor are you supposed to let the dough rise

Pizza dough from the Russian recipes is bread. :P

Thin and solid. Yep, those are the memories.

When you talk about the order of ingredients: are you saying you're supposed to start with cheese?

It's still bread, no doubt. Flour, yeast, water and all. Just a step removed from matzah somehow. Don't want to learn the difference - lest I can't spare relatives from a homemade batch next Passover.

From the chef himself: [After adding the sauce]

    Add a little cheese before the toppings. This was a trick I learned working at the pizza place. Starting with a very thin layer of cheese helps the toppings stick. It also creates like a cheese-topping sandwich on top of your pizza, which is just amazing .

Cheese, sauce, toppings, then cheese is another variant I'd been doing. At that point, you better have built a nice crust to hold in the lactose lava.

Oh, I meant like quarter of the loaf tall, in jest. In reality it's closer to 0.75 inch.

Neat, thanks for the tip!
