Cooking tips
For a fluffier dough, use warm water (35-40°C) – this will activate the yeast.
Before rolling out, let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes so that it does not shrink.
Use fresh cherry tomatoes for maximum flavor and aroma.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings to avoid it becoming soggy in the center.
Before baking, brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden crust.
After baking, let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent it from falling apart when serving.
