Tips & Tricks

• For a crispier crust, preheat the pizza pan or baking sheet in the oven before adding the dough.
• If you don't have a pizza pan or baking sheet, you can use a cast-iron skillet instead.
• To make the dough ahead of time, let it rise in the refrigerator overnight.

Serving advice

Serve the pizza hot, straight out of the oven. Cut it into slices and serve with a side salad or garlic bread.

Presentation advice

For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like basil or oregano on top of the pizza before serving.
