Garlic Butter Pizza Crust

Pizza!

Good pizza crust = good pizza

Bad pizza crust = bad pizza

The crust makes or breaks the pizza. So why do so many people throw the crust away? They eat the “good part” with all the cheese and sauce but then leave the edge. No more, my friends. No more.

Garlic Crust

The thing that can make the crust even better is turning it into a garlic crust! It’s the latest craze when it comes to pizza– any pizza chain worth its salt offers flavored crusts. But luckily, you can do it yourself. The trick is to use Chef Shamy Parmesan Basil Garlic Butter. Spread it all over your crust, and you won’t be sharing your crust with the trash can anymore.

Feel free to be as creative as you want with the toppings. That’s what pizza is all about. But don’t forget that Garlic Butter– that stuff is delicious!

Here’s an article you can read: Breadmaking 101

And since pizza crust is yeast dough, the science still applies.

Learn lots, and enjoy!
