Ingredients
Instructions

- Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

- Add your favorite sauce and toppings.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes more until golden and cooked.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier crust, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don't have dry active yeast, you can substitute with instant yeast, using the same amount. To enhance flavor, try adding dried herbs like oregano or basil to the dough. Make sure the water is warm but not hot to keep the yeast active. For a twist, consider adding garlic powder or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Poo's Pizza Pie with a side of fresh salad, such as a Cooked Fruit Salad, for a refreshing contrast. Pair it with dipping sauces like ranch or marinara for added flavor. This pizza also goes well with a variety of toppings, including vegetables, pepperoni, or even a Vegan option with plant-based cheese and toppings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and the crust is crispy again. For a quicker option, you can microwave slices for about 30 seconds, but this may make the crust softer.
