Basic Pizza: compose a simple pizza on a store bought crust.

Making pizza at home can be a daunting task, especially for the beginner. This blog will provide information to make that task easier, by breaking the process of home pizza creation into it’s component parts.

Separating the parts of pizza preparation allows us to take a scientific approach to what can often be a chaotic experience, resulting in a much less frustrating enterprise.

So, in this episode, we will cover just the basics of pizza “composition”, the stage of pizza preparation where we have an existing pizza crust and we have already prepared toppings. In this stage we simply layer the already prepared toppings on top of an existing crust, and then put the pizza in the oven.

In a later episode, we will cover the process of efficiently creating a pizza dough.

Lets get right to it!
