I Have Perfected Vegetarian Pizza

Seriously, I have.
This one was amazing with portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, onions, and yeah..a little chipotle. I can’t get past that spicy, smoky combo!
I have found that by letting the pizza crust rise in the pan, baking at 500F on a stone until done, and then adding ingredients and baking at 375F until cheese melts I end up with crispy, chewy, yummy crust.
Adding 1-2 tablespoons straight gluten flour to your pizza crust recipe will also give you that awesome chewy crust.
You can use homemade sauce or Newmans Own Sockarooni. I love that stuff. Use a combination of cheeses:
- Fontina
- Mozzarella
- Romano
- Provolone
Or whatever you like.
Anyway, try the method. Just preheat the oven (and stone if you have it ) to 500F. Bake your crust. Reduce the oven temp and then add the toppings.
Perfect crust every time.
Here are some pizza crusts on Baking Delights:
You can try these or use your own recipe with this technique.
Marye, do you use a pan on top of the stone?
Nope…just the stone
