Pizza Making Tips

Flour

Flour with high gluten content is the best flour choice for making pizza. The gluten makes the dough elastic and allows the dough to be shaped easier.

Pizza Making Tips

Brushing your Pizza Pan

You can brush the pizza pan lightly with olive oil to keep the crust from sticking. The dough will absorb the oil and its flavor.
