CHEF’S SECRET
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 2-3 minutes before adding the toppings.
- If you like spice, add a few crushed red pepper flakes to the pizza before putting it in the oven.
- You can also drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the pizza just before serving for an additional touch of flavour.
- If you have fresh herbs on hand, such as basil or cilantro, sprinkle a little on the pizza just before serving for a touch of freshness.
- Add goat cheese or mozzarella to the pizza before putting it in the oven for an even more decadent.
- This dish is easy to customize with your favourite veggies or whatever ingredients you have on hand. For example, cherry tomatoes, spinach and artichokes are all delicious additions to this pizza.
