Bread & Pastries/Frozen Pizza

Expert: Elyse Grau - 7/20/2009


Question
I like a certain frozen pizza-- the instructions sy to put it directly on the rack-- how do I get the crisp effect of that without a mess?

Answer
Barbara:
Baking a whole frozen pizza on the rack shouldn't make a mess. You can place some foil or a baking pan on the floor of the oven or the rack below, but that does block the heat somewhat. If you prefer to bake it on a tray, use the lowest rack of the oven and preheat the tray while you preheat the oven. a little oil on the tray (brush it on when the tray is hot) can also help promote crispness.

Expertise

I can answer any questions about baking. The only thing I'm not too good at is baking pies, nor do I know much about high altitude baking.

Experience

I have been baking for over 30 years. One of my hobbies is creating recipes, most of those for baked goods. I made my own wedding cake. Currently I prefer to bake healthier things. I use a lot of whole wheat and other whole grain flours, and prefer to use less sugar or sugar substitutes in my baking. I do a lot with fruit.
