I used premade dough from Sprouts -this was the first and last time using store bought dough - tomato sauce - made with with sauteed garlic, olive oil salt, basil, oregano, and chili flakes - heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, fresh basil. I finished it with fresh basil, olive oil, and fresh grated aged parmesan. Finally I brushed melted butter on the crust and sprinkled smokey garlic salt on the butter.
This was cooked on a pizza steel at 550 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, with the last minute or so under the broiler.
Damn that looks good. Is the broiler why you got such a brown dough or is that irrelevant? Mine is usually much paler but I don’t use the broiler. That 550 degrees is fahrenheit right?
The color is largely due to the butter I brush on the crust after it comes out of the oven.
Next time I make pizza, I’ll take pictures before and after brushing the butter on
After it comes out the oven? Interesting. I tried brushing oil on before oven which helped a little but didn’t make a big difference.
