    Shrinkage (not the swimming pool kind)

    steveo922 writes: If it helps, I butter the bottom of the pans, then place the thick, sheeted dough (about the same size as the pan) and stretch the center towards the edge all the way around.

    Extracheese, Yeah, I wrote about that in one of my posts a couple years ago. “Beat The Clock” was a promotion we ran back in my old Domino’s days in the late 80’s-early 90’s.
