HINTS & TIPS

The remaining dough can be frozen for up to 8 weeks in the freezer.
Drain the tomatoes well before adding them to your base, too much liquid will result in a soggy base.
Always heat your pizza stone starting in a cold oven, if you put the stone in a hot oven there is a very good chance it could crack.
