Lightly oil 1 or 2 baking sheets. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each into a 7- or 8-inch round slightly more than 1/8-inch thick; place on baking sheet. Spread topping evenly but gently over dough with back of spoon, leaving 1/2-inch border. Press lightly so that topping adheres. Sprinkle lightly with oil. Let pizzas rise about 15 minutes.
