I was thinking that maybe we need to blind bake it first.  Our oven does 
a pretty good job.  I also didn't get it rolled thin enough, so while the 
cheese was burnt, the center crust was actually raw on top.  I'm going to 
use the same recipe, but divide the ball into thirds rather than half and 
cover the same area with it - that should do the trick, I think.
