# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get all the pizza satisfaction without the heavy bread crash that leaves you napping on the couch
  • The crispy chicken crust actually holds up better than cauliflower versions and packs serious protein
  • Customize toppings endlessly and nobody will notice they're eating something diet-friendly
02 -
  • Skipping the blotting step after pre-baking is the number one mistake people make with soggy bottoms
  • The crust must be fully firm and golden before adding toppings or it will collapse under the weight
  • Letting the pizza rest before cutting is essential as the cheese needs time to set slightly

  • Use a pizza stone if you have one for the crispiest bottom
  • Brush the very edge of the crust with olive oil before the final bake for extra golden color
