PIZZA CRUST FANTASTICO
This crust I developed after many rounds of dough. It has become a weekly favorite! Its rosy color is from the sauce, and the chewy/crusty dough is a real treat! When baking, I like to use a pizza stone, but a perforated pan works well too.

Tips:
- Always use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh, flavorful tomatoes, quality cheese, and a well-made dough will make all the difference.
- Use a pizza stone or baking steel for the crispiest crust. Preheat the stone or steel in the oven at the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
- Bake the pizza in a very hot oven, 500°F (260°C) or higher, for a short amount of time, 8-12 minutes. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming dry.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you can make a delicious pizza crust at home. Using high-quality ingredients, a pizza stone or baking steel, and the right baking technique, you can create a crispy, flavorful crust that will impress your friends and family.
