Recipes Tips
If you want a crispy crust, make sure to preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven before adding the dough. You can also add a sprinkle of cornmeal to the bottom of the crust to prevent sticking and add texture.
If you want a chewier crust, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which creates a chewier texture.
To make the dough rise faster, you can place it in a warm oven (turned off) or near a warm appliance. Just make sure it’s not too hot, or it will kill the yeast.
