I always drizzle and spread around some olive oil on top of the dough
before I put the tomatoes/tomato sauce on the dough. I feel it keeps
the dough from absorbing the sauce. I think this depends on how much
sauce you are putting on a thick or thin crust. I use my own
judgement depending on these factors.
