A) How does the recipe change depending on whether you make one pizza or two pizzas?
I can look around at the introduction to the recipe. It explains where pizzas were first made. As I read on, it tells me that I can make one deep, puffy pizza or two thin and crispy ones. I can work out that the amount of dough used changes depending on how many pizzas you make and I will find out how to do this later in the recipe.
