- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that the butter and water are at room temperature before using them in the dough.
- Even Dough Distribution: When pressing the dough into the pans, make sure it’s evenly distributed and pressed firmly into the corners and up the sides.
- Check for Doneness: Start checking the pizzas at the 20-minute mark to prevent overbaking. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese bubbly.
- Let Rest Before Serving: Allow the pizzas to rest for about 10 minutes after baking to let the fillings set, making them easier to slice and serve.
