Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
Make Ahead: You can make the crust 2-3 days ahead of time and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to cook the pizza, bake it in the oven at 425°F for 5 minutes, then add your toppings and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the pizza base recipe as is. However you can change out the seasonings and definitely change out the toppings.
