This looks great, it's on the menu for tonight!
Would it be okay if I used a smaller pan though? I have a cast iron pan that I'm going to try using, but I don't think it's 14 inches.
Just cut back on the ingredients, Emma. Make the same amount of dough, but use less; otherwise the dough will be too thick. If you want to figure it out mathematically - the diameter of a 14" crust is actually 16" (14" bottom dia. plus 1"-tall crust all around = 16"). Area would be pi-radius-squared = 201 sq. inches. So if your pan is 12", say - 14" total dia., apply formula = 154 sq. inches. Which is about 3/4 of the total dough recipe. So use 3/4 of the dough in the pan, and make rolls or mini pizzas out of the rest. Hey, who says you never use high school math in "real" life?? :) Good luck - PJH
