Should I egg wash my pizza crust?

The technique of brushing raw egg onto dough before baking it is known as applying an "egg wash," and it often appears in bread making. Just as it does with bread, an egg wash applied to pizza crust lends a slightly richer flavor and gives the crust an appealing golden brown shine.

Should I Prebake my pizza crust?

It's absolutely essential to pre-bake the dough for 5-6 minutes before adding your toppings. Once you've added Pizza Sauce and all your toppings, return it to the oven to finish baking! This will result in a crust that holds on it's own and is crispy on the outside, and soft and airy on the inside.

Why does my pizza not cook in the middle?

The most common reasons for undercooked pizza dough are too low baking temperature, too short baking time, the pizza crust is too thick, and overtopping. Luckily all of these things are easy to fix! Baking temperature and baking time are closely related. The higher the temperature the shorter the biking time.
