  • Roll out the dough thinly: This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Get creative and experiment with different toppings to create your own unique pizza.
