Hi Virgil- In this case, I would not recommend trying to change up the procedure that much as I'm not sure the base would cook up properly for you. If you are more interested in a traditional pizza that bakes with the toppings, I think you would be much better off finding a recipe designed to be baked that way from our website: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/pizza-and-flatbread. Happy Baking! JocelyN@KAF
