Tips

Tip 1

The dough is very wet and sticky; use a spoon to portion and shape rather than handling by hand.

Tip 2

Cool bases on a second rack to allow air circulation and promote drying.

Tip 3

Bases can be frozen for extended storage beyond refrigerator shelf life.

Good to Know

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat before topping and serving.

Make Ahead

Common Mistakes

Watch

Do not attempt to knead or handle the dough by hand to avoid tearing and losing structure; use a spoon to shape.

Watch

Do not skip the cooling step on a second rack to avoid soggy bases; air circulation is essential for crispness.
