The cheese and sauce should be applied in measured amounts, according to the recipe.
Er, no. The recipe for a good pizza is to shape, then toss the crust, lay it out on the pallet. The crust should be somewhere between 14-16". Dump a ladle of sauce in the middle and in a circular motion, use the bottom of the ladle to spiral the sauce out to around 1/2 inch from the edges. Then grab a palmful of cheese and sprinkle it over the sauce, repeat if you have small hands. Get a couple pinches of oregano, sprinkle that over it all. Then drizzle around a tablespoon of olive oil from a squirt bottle in a spiral over all of that. Slide the pie in the oven at 700°F for 7 minutes, until the crust edges bubble and start to char. That's a large cheese pizza.
