Pizza Advice from the Food & Wine Lab
- The pizza-loving chefs around the world have given us some delicious recipes to try at home. While pizzas may have a broad variety of toppings, a good dough should be chewy but crispy. Here are some tips and tricks for improving your pizza-making skills.
- Letting dough rise adds layers of flavor (at least to a point).
- Press and stretch a ball of pizza dough with your fingers, starting in the middle and working your way out to the edges, to shape it into a circle. There’s no need throwing anything!
- Make sure to properly warm your pizza stone. A few individuals have a preference for cement. The rest are ceramic. Assorted steel. No of the material, a stone will keep your oven hot even while the door is open, which is essential for making a crusty bottom.
- A pizza peel isn’t too costly, so you may want to get one if you intend on making pizza regularly. To put a pizza on a hot stone, this is the best method. Lightly flour or semolina the peel to make the dough easier to slide.

Preheating the oven for at least 30 minutes before putting the pizza onto the stone is often the best approach to obtain a crisp crust and bubbly top. The next step is to heat the broiler and cook for around 5 minutes.
