# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It combines two comfort food favorites into one golden, bubbly masterpiece that satisfies every craving.
  • You can have it on the table in 35 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or last-minute gatherings.
  • The creamy Alfredo base feels fancy but requires zero complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.
02 -
  • Let your pizza dough rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before rolling, cold dough fights back and won't stretch properly.
  • Don't overload the pizza with sauce or toppings, too much weight will make the crust soggy and prevent it from crisping up.
  • If your oven runs cool, add an extra minute or two to the bake time so the cheese gets that gorgeous golden color.
03 -
  • Prebake your dough for 3 to 4 minutes before adding toppings if you want an extra crispy crust that can handle all that creamy sauce.
  • Use a pizza stone and a pizza peel for restaurant-quality results, the stone absorbs moisture and creates a perfectly crisp bottom.
  • Brush the crust edges with a little melted butter mixed with garlic powder right after baking for a bakery-style finish.
