Soft Crust Pizza

[Wombat457]

Possibly been asked before but anyhow - how do you cook a pizza so it has a soft crust bottom?

 

[medtran49]

The type of dough you use, plus the thickness.

 

[Wombat457]

Should have been more specific sorry - I meant store bought type like Digorno - the frozen type. Every time I have cooked one the bottom is hard, even when they suggest putting them on a baking pan.

So where exactly was it moved to??

What "correct subforum" ??? Thius: Soft Crust Pizza tells me nothing when trying to find it under Forums.

Putting on a pan, a metal one, will certainly cook the bottom. You could try using a piece of the box between the pan and the pizza and perhaps spritzing the box piece with water.

That's a link!

Yeah I know it is - show me where it it is listed when you look in the "FORUMS" what is it under? What is the correct subforum? that link tells me nothing.

I dont like soft crusts, but I figure if you cover it when baking it will be soft

Are you following the instructions on the box?
What type of oven are you using?
What do you mean by hard? Do you mean crispy? Or inedible?

 

[medtran49]

Have you checked oven temperature and/or are you having problems when baking anything else?

Correct placement in oven, i.e. correct rack?

A few little tricks for (somewhat) softening those frozen supermarket pizzas…bake it a little longer at a lower temp, make sure it’s on a sheet pan or pizza pan of some sort (most of those pizzas say to bake directly on the rack), and the one that seems to work fairly well…when you take the pizza out of the oven, cover it with something, like a big mixing bowl, and let it rest about 5 minutes - the trapped steam will help soften it. Don’t put it on a cooling rack, either.

bake it a little longer at a lower temp,

Was gonna say ...!
