Frequently Asked Questions

Uses pizza dough instead of baguette. Stuffier base, more cheese on top.
Best for what?
Pizza night appetizer, party food, accompaniment to Italian dinner.
Variations?
Add mozzarella stuffing in the crust. Or sprinkle herbs.
Marinara essential?
Greatly improved with dipping. Tomato cuts through the rich garlic butter.
