Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Frozen Spinach Thoroughly 💧
Thaw frozen spinach completely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel—this prevents a soggy pizza base and ensures the cheese melts properly without steam.
Pre-roast Your Vegetables 🥦
Lightly roast zucchini and broccoli at 400°F for 8-10 minutes before topping to remove excess water and develop deeper flavors, resulting in a crispier crust.
Use Pesto as Your Secret Base Layer 🌿
Spread pesto directly onto the dough instead of tomato sauce, then add a thin layer of mozzarella underneath the vegetables to create a moisture barrier that keeps the crust crispy.
Layer Cheese Strategically 🧀
Reserve some mozzarella to sprinkle on top after vegetables to create a golden crust; place some underneath vegetables to prevent sogginess and lock in flavor.
Bake on a Preheated Pizza Stone 🔥
Place your pizza stone in the oven while preheating to 475°F for at least 30 minutes—this ensures an evenly baked, crispy bottom crust that won't become doughy from the vegetable moisture.
