Recipes FAQ

Can I make this recipe without a deep dish pizza pan?

Yes, you can use a regular pizza pan, but the crust won't be as thick. You can also use a cast-iron skillet if you have one.

How long does the dough need to rise?

This recipe uses instant yeast, so the dough doesn't need to rise before baking. However, you can let it rise for 30 minutes if you prefer.

Can I freeze the leftover pizza?

Yes, you can freeze the leftover pizza. Wrap it in foil or plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it.
  • If the crust is getting too brown, cover it with foil halfway through baking.
  • You can use a mix of cheeses, such as cheddar and parmesan, for added flavor.
  • If you're using fresh toppings, such as mushrooms or peppers, make sure to sauté them before adding them to the pizza.
