🍕 My Secret to Perfect Crispy Crust Homemade Pizza

I've been testing different pizza dough recipes for months now. The breakthrough came when I started preheating my pizza stone for a full hour at 500°F. The dough needs to be stretched thin but not too thin - about 1/4 inch works best. I brush the edges with olive oil mixed with a bit of garlic powder before baking. Another trick is to par-bake the crust for 3 minutes before adding toppings. This prevents the dreaded soggy middle. For sauce, I use canned San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand with just salt and basil. The simplicity lets the crust shine. The major difference was switching to bread flour instead of all-purpose - creates that perfect chew with crispy edges. #HomemadePizza #CrispyCrust #PizzaRecipe #Food #Cooking
