FAQS

  1. How long should I let the dough chill in the fridge?

    It's recommended to chill the dough for at least 24 hours for the best flavor and texture, but you can let it chill for longer if desired.

  2. Can I use different toppings for my pizza?

    Absolutely! Feel free to customize your pizza with any toppings you like, such as vegetables, different meats, or alternative cheeses.

  3. What type of flour is best for making pizza dough?

    All-purpose flour works well, but for a chewier crust, you can use bread flour, which has a higher protein content.

  4. What should I do if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour while kneading until it reaches a smooth and manageable consistency.

  5. Can I freeze the dough for later use?

    Yes, you can freeze the dough! After dividing it into balls, wrap each ball tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
