Most people believe you can’t make homemade pizza taste as good as the one from the pizzeria, so they stop trying. But a few failed attempts shouldn’t discourage you. By following some simple tips, you can make homemade pizza taste even better than the one made at a restaurant. Check them out below.
Get the Pizza Dough to Room Temperature
Your pizza dough will often determine how good your homemade pizza turns out. You should make sure to follow the recipe to the point and always use pizza dough at room temperature. This will make it easier to stretch and get to the desired shape.
Use Quality Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce can make or break your pizza. Spend a bit more on quality tomato sauce since you can’t compensate for the richness of the flavor with anything else.
Don’t Go Overboard with Toppings
Make sure you use just the right amount of toppings. Putting on too much will “drown” the pizza and will cause it to be undercooked.
Brush the Crust with Olive Oil
This is a simple trick, but it makes a world of difference. Simply blush the crust with some olive oil before baking, and you will end up with just the right kind of crispy.
Bake on High Heat
Finally, make sure you preheat your oven and bake the pizza at high temperature. You should aim for 450F and 500F and get it out once the cheese is melted and slightly brownish.
