- For a crispier crust, you can air fry the dough for an extra minute before adding the sauce and toppings.
- Experiment with different cheese blends, such as provolone or parmesan, for added flavor.
- To make a homemade pizza sauce, blend canned tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
