2. Make the Dough:
   • In a bowl, microwave mozzarella + cream cheese for 60–90 secs (until melted).

3. Shape the Crust:
   • Grease a small cast iron skillet or deep cake pan (7–9 inch).
   • Press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides to form that deep-dish style.
4. Pre-bake Crust:
   • Bake for 8–10 mins until just golden. Remove from oven.
5. Add Toppings:

   • Sprinkle with Parmesan.
6. Bake Again:
   • Return to oven for 10–12 mins until bubbly and golden.
7. Cool & Slice:
   • Let it rest 5 mins before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or oregano.
