Tips & Tricks (5)

Squeeze Frozen Spinach Dry 💧
Thaw frozen spinach completely and squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to prevent a soggy pizza crust and ensure crispy results.
Pre-roast Zucchini and Broccoli 🔥
Lightly roast zucchini and broccoli at 400°F for 8-10 minutes before adding to pizza; this removes moisture and concentrates their flavors while preventing a watery final product.
Use Pesto as Your Base Layer 🌿
Spread pesto directly onto the pizza dough instead of tomato sauce to create a flavorful moisture barrier that prevents the crust from becoming soggy while enhancing the green vegetable profile.
Layer Mozzarella Strategically 🧀
Create two layers of cheese—a thin layer under vegetables and a thicker layer on top—so the vegetables stay in place and the cheese melts evenly without burning the greens underneath.
Bake on a Preheated Stone 🍕
Place your pizza dough on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet at 475°F for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings; this ensures a crispy, well-cooked bottom that won't get soggy from vegetable moisture.
