TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL PIZZA
:
Use you favorite crust
***All recipes mentioned here are in this book.
Always place crust in cold skillet
The California Pizza crust recipe is a simple basic crust.
Start from a mix.
When using a mix (about 6oz) you will need two packages to
fill the skillet.
A pre-baked, ready made pizza crust is best for recipes like
vegetarian pizza.
Mini pizza snacks can be made on toasted muffins as
recommended in the quick and easy pizza snacks recipe.
Pizza kit (20.5 oz) – store in the refrigerator. Place crust in
skillet and heat to 300°F degrees (149°C) cover and cook 5
minutes. Reduce the temperature to 250°F degrees (120°C)
top with sauce and cheese, cover, cook 6 to 8 minutes more.
For extra browning on thick crusts-prepare crust as directed
and then flip crust over and put on the toppings, then reduce
temperature to 250° F degrees (120°C) cover and cook until
cheese melts.
PREPACKAGED/PREMADE CRUST
:
Frozen Pizza
– remove all paper or plastic packaging, place pizza
in skillet and set temperature to 250° F degrees (120°C), cook 15
to 25 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
Refrigerated or deli-style -
remove all plastic or paper wrapping,
leaving pizza in aluminum foil container, place in skillet and set
temperature to 300°F degrees (149°C), cover and cook 5 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 250°F degrees (120°C), cover and cook
until cheese is melted. Approximate cooking time at this
temperature for an 8 inch (10.5-oz) is 10 to 12 minutes or until
cheese is melted; for a 12 inch (1lb. 13oz)is 25 to 30 minutes or
until cheese is melted.
