Cooking Tips

• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
• Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite vegetables and herbs.
• If you prefer a thinner crust, divide the dough in half and roll it out into two smaller pizzas.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pizza in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the pizza as a main course with a side salad, or cut it into smaller slices for appetizers or party snacks.
