• Italians skillfully form the basis for pizza hands, without the aid of foreign objects. We at home mainly use a rolling pin. But what if there is none? You can use an empty bottle, a roll of foil or cling film.
• To make the pizza really tasty and baked, cut vegetables and other products thinly. Slices can be large, but not thick.
• Do you want to give a freshly made pizza a highlight? While the pastry is hot, sprinkle it with fresh basil leaves. And she will get an unusual flavor.
• Follow all measures. The toppings should not be too much, after all it is a pizza. But the base should not shine through, bare cake is not good either.
