Tips to Make the Perfect Dough

• Always make sure you use a scale to measure all your ingredients correctly. The majority of the best pizza recipes measure ingredients in weight, not volume.

• Based on the type of crust you want, you need to pick the right flour.

All-purpose flour: great for deep-dish and Sicilian pizza crusts. If this is the only flour you have in the house, you can also use it for thin crust, Neapolitan-style pizzas, and New York-style. Keep in mind, using this flour can make it difficult to stretch out. One of the best brands to use is King Arthur.

Bread flour: Perfect for thin crust and New York-style pizza because it gives an extra crunch and crisp to it. This type of flour is very high in gluten and can be difficult to stretch and shape, but it will give your crust an incredible crispy on the outside, but warm and chewy on the inside texture.

Preparation

Tips on Sauce and Toppings •Be careful to not put too much sauce. Adding too much sauce will ruin the crust and cause it to get soggy.

•This is your pizza! Go wild and creative with the types of toppings you want to have on there. You will never know what tastes good together if you never try it. We recommend not overloading the pizza with toppings to the point where it overshadows the sauce and crust. Add just the right amount so that it all comes together when you take that first bite.

•Spread the toppings out evenly so that it all evenly cooks.

•Some ingredients burn very quickly and should be placed underneath the cheese.
