Pizza-Making Tips
Before you start making pizza, here are some home-cooking tips from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board:
- Preheat the oven. It needs to be hot enough to bake the crust in quickly
so that the cheese doesn’t burn.
- If you’re using traditional mozzarella cheese, use the whole-milk variety
for superior melt and rich flavor.
- Cheeses with “stretch”—Provolone or mozzarella, for example—enhance
other cheeses with different flavor profiles, such as Parmesan, blue and feta.
- Brush olive oil on the edge of the crust before topping with sauce. This step
adds a bit of flavor to the crust and helps in achieving a golden color.
