Recipe Tips
For a more flavorful crust, add herbs or spices to the dough. Some suggestions are garlic powder, dried herbs, or freshly grated Parmesan cheese. You can also brush the top of the crust with an egg wash for a golden brown finish. If you are using a pre-made filling, you can also add seasonings to the filling to give it more flavor.
