  11. Remember that it does not need to be crispy like a normal pizza if you want to roll it, it should be a littke bit like a wrap with crispy edges . For this purpose the dough is cooked after ten minutes. You may crisp it uo more if you want to serve it as a pizza. Take care not to burn it as the base is very thin. Serve either hot or cold with some lemon slices to squeeze the juice over the filling.
