Frozen pizza is a lifesaver on busy nights or when you crave a quick and satisfying meal. While convenient, frozen pizza often lacks the crispy crust, gooey cheese, and rich flavor of freshly made pies. Fortunately, there’s a simple trick to transform your frozen pizza into a gourmet delight, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!
The Trick: Preheat and Enhance
The secret lies in preheating the right tools and adding fresh ingredients. Here’s how to elevate your frozen pizza experience:
Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Frozen Pizza
1. Preheat Your Oven and Baking Surface
- Why? A hot oven and baking surface mimic the intense heat of a pizzeria oven, ensuring a crispier crust.
- How?
- Preheat your oven to the highest recommended temperature (usually 425–450°F or 220–230°C).
- Place a pizza stone, cast-iron skillet, or inverted baking sheet inside the oven during preheating.
2. Thaw the Pizza Slightly
- Why? Thawing helps the pizza cook evenly, preventing a soggy crust.
- How? Remove the pizza from its packaging and let it sit on the counter for 10–15 minutes while the oven preheats.
3. Brush the Crust with Olive Oil
- Why? Olive oil enhances flavor and creates a golden, crispy crust.
- How? Use a brush or your fingers to apply a thin layer of olive oil around the crust’s edge.
