Cooking Tips

• Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
• You can add a pinch of sugar to the warm water to activate the yeast.
• Pre-baking the pizza base before adding the toppings helps to prevent a soggy crust.

Storage and Serving

• Whole Wheat Pizza Base is best served fresh and hot.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the pizza base in the oven or toaster before adding the toppings.
