Want to know the key to baking the best pizza at your home? If you’ve been thinking why some folks manage to bake homemade pizza having crispy and delicious crust, then I can let you know the secret is to cook your pizza with a baking stone.

The truth is, baking a pizza on top of a baking stone makes a huge difference because the stone can transform the pizza crust from ordinary to crispy without having any added effort. Using a baking stone is key to baking an awesome handmade pizza.

Here I’m going to share some tips with you:

Pick The Suitable Diameter Stone

This is obvious, when you are choosing a baking stone, be sure you measure your oven first and then try to find the biggest stone that fits your oven. This will make things easier for you when you want to transfer your pizza to your stove.

Purchase A Pizza Paddle

It’s very handy to get yourself a pizza paddle if you are planning to utilize the stone. Make sure to spread some flour on the stone before putting the pizza so it will be much easier to get the pizza from the stone once it is prepared

Make Sure Your Oven Is Hot Enough

Your oven must be hot enough, prior to baking your pizza, turn up the heat at least 500F/250F and next heat up the stone first for thirty minutes, the longer the better. And put the pizza on the top of the stone using your pizza paddle. Remember to season some flour or corn meal over it. Let it cook for eight minutes and then your pizza is going to be ready!

Materials

Another great material is soapstone. Usually, soapstone is a lot more expensive than terra cotta, but it can yield a good pie that is crispy from edge to edge. A few models even have a stainless-steel serving plate and cutter so you can bring your creation to the table.

To obtain the best results, you will also require a peel for moving the pizza both to and from the stone. Both wood and stainless steel are available. No matter what kind you choose, top it with a thin layer of corn meal, which will help the bread slide off and on. Sometimes you can buy the stone and peel as a set.
