I'm puzzled by something.  My pizza crust recipe says to grease a 
dark pan with olive oil and put the crust in the pan.  I've seen it 
said here, to put it on a pizza stone.  Do you put the pan on the 
stone or the dough directly on the stone?  What would the difference 
in the end result be?  I should think the olive oil and hot pan would 
make the crust crispy, but does the stone make it more so?

Thanks for all of your advice.  I'm learning, bit by bit or bite by bite!
