- Preheating the pan or a pizza stone is the secret to perfect homemade pizza.
- Baking at a high temperature ensures a crispy crust and brown bubbly cheese on top.
- Serve with extra dressing for dipping.
- Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Follow my tips on how best to reheat for flavor and texture.
