The Importance of Defrosting Your Bola Pizza
If you put a frozen pizza into a hot oven, you create steam from the frozen condensation releasing into the air instead of baking the pizza. This makes it really difficult to get an evenly cooked, crispy crust.
The Importance of Oven Temperature
Bola Pizzas cook at a high temperature. If you cook your pizza for the recommended period of time and it hasn’t turned a crispy brown, try moving your oven rack a little lower and cook another 1 - 2 minutes. Our instructions are for ovens that run consistently at 475 degrees. Our own oven doesn’t even do this and we have to cook our pizzas for 1.5 to 3 minutes longer than the instructions.
Extra Crispy Crust?
The lower your pizza is placed in your oven, the crispier the crust. Your over all cook time will decrease also. Keep an eye on the crust so it doesn't burn. It's a fine line between 'extra crispy' and 'charred beyond edible'.
