Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make it in the oven?
Yes — bake at 200°C for about 10–12 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges crisp. The grill just adds a smoky char and is a little faster.
How do I stop the bread going soggy?
Brush with garlic butter first (it seals the crumb), do not drown it in sauce, and toast until the base is crisp before the toppings weigh it down.
What toppings work?
Anything pizza — pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, olives. Pre-cook raw meats and watery veg so the quick bake just melts the cheese.
