NOW TIME TO BAKE!
Baking time depends on your pizza dough and pizza style.
Pizza is a unique dish that has several variations. There are so many ways to create your perfect pie. We don’t prefer the same style of pizza. I love veggie artisan style pizzas and hubby is more of a deep dish meat eater so we normally setup a buffet station and create personal pizzas. It’s always fun and has been for 20 years.
We made our first pizza in 1997. Hubby warned me that I added too much sauce but I insisted on it being saucy. Well when we pulled mine out the oven my toppings slid right off onto the floor. I guess it was way too much sauce! But like any perfect husband would do… he shared his!
