Texture Tips
-
For fluffier bread: separate eggs, whip whites to soft peaks, and fold in at the end
-
For crispier bottom: preheat the pan with olive oil before adding dough
-
For more chew: replace half the mozzarella with provolone
Storage & Reheating

Reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispness
-
Freezes well for up to 2 months
Variations
-
Garlic Parmesan: brush with garlic butter after baking
