Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of mozzarella?
Yes, you can substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like gouda, fontina, or provolone for a different flavor. Keep in mind that these cheeses may melt differently, so adjust the baking time if needed.
How should I store leftover pizza?
Leftover pizza should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage, just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.
What can I use in place of tomato paste if I run out?
If you don't have tomato paste, you can use tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes. Just be aware that they will add more moisture to your pizza, so you may want to cook the sauce down a bit before using it.
