Higher heat = crunchier and tastier crust. Most home ovens only reach 240-250°C, though some have a specific 'pizza' setting. For the best results, preheat your oven and pizza stone or pan on the lower-middle shelf for at least half an hour before cooking your pizzas.

Looking to make a basic pizza crust, one with a crispy bottom, a little bit of chew, and enough strength that the slices won't get floppy under all that sauce and cheese? For a no-fuss crust, you need a workhorse flour, and that's all-purpose flour.

Whole wheat pizza crust can be healthier than regular white crust, but not always. For example, whole wheat pizza crust typically contains more fiber, whole grains, and other vitamins and minerals than white crust.

The more time you allow for slow fermentation, the more flavorful the crust will be. Once you're confident of your slow fermentation technique, experiment with brushing, stuffing and dusting your pies, establishing your own signature recipe for a unique homemade pizza.

Put a little oil into your skillet, then heat it over high heat until the oil just starts to shimmer. As soon as it does, reduce the heat to low and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. This will help crisp up the bottom, while making sure that it doesn't get too greasy.

As you are rolling out and topping your first pizza, switch your oven to broil. Right before you launch, swtich your oven back to bake or convection bake 500F. The idea is to get your Steel even hotter than 500 F for this thin crust bake. It really helps crisp up that bottom.

Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil onto the edge of the dough to give it a crispier crust. Carefully place the peel in the oven and slide the pizza onto the stone or baking sheet. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbly with some browned spots.

Active Dried Yeast - Most Common

Active dry yeast is the most commonly used type of yeast for making baked goods. It is yeast that has been dried out so that it has a longer shelf-life.

Use Tipo 0 or Tipo 00 flour. Tipo is a grading of flour on the Italian flour scale. And these flours have just the right amount of protein content - around 12.5% for pizza baking.

How do I make my pizza crust brown and crispy? ›

FYI – A hot pizza stone is key to producing a well-browned, crisp bottom crust. So here are the three things to do to get the stone hot enough: place stone in the cold oven, set the temperature to 500 degrees, and let it preheat for one full hour. (I start the hour once it has preheated).

Because there is no oil to give the crust further suppleness, the outcome is more or less a crispier crust. Oil will function as a lubricant on the surface of the dough, making it more pliable and simpler to handle. When you add oil to pizza dough, it becomes less sticky to the touch.

Most pizza dough does not contain eggs. Pizza dough typically includes three main ingredients: yeast, flour, and water. Some recipes will also include a tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. Eggs soften the dough and make it taste richer, while egg whites make the crust a little crispier.

Of course you do. Parbaking, or partially baking the dough to its halfway point in advance can save you a ton of time on pizza party day. You just have to top it and toss it back in the oven before you want to sit down and eat. This is also a great way to get everyone involved in the pizza-making experience.
