Notes
Try prebaking the crust in a hot oven before adding the sauce and toppings. This will help create a crispier crust texture.
Add just the right amount of sauce. This is key to making the perfect pizza. Too much will make it soggy while too little won't provide enough flavor.
Use parchment paper. Lining your pan with parchment paper will make it slide right off the pan!
