What You Should Know Before Making Bobby Flay's Pizza Dough

In her review for The Kitchn, self-proclaimed "Master of everyday baking" Meghan Splawn has a few critiques when it comes to Bobby Flay's pizza dough recipe. She notes the original version took a while to stretch, and the end result was a bland crust without a "burnt bottom or chewy, crispy crust." Although she says the attempt was a wash, Splawn shares some tips on how to improve Flay's recipe.

Splawn mentions the use of seasoning in pizza dough and says that even adding salt would make the dough tastier. Other seasoning options include garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. An Italian seasoning blend is another way to amp up the flavor. In addition, instead of baking your pizza in the oven, Splawn suggests this pizza recipe would be best enjoyed grilled, especially since grilling is Flay's expertise.

Wondering how other celebrity chefs make their pizza dough? Unlike Flay's quick recipe, Duff Goldman's tips for homemade pizza dough include patience and keeping it in the fridge as you wait. The Pioneer Woman's secret for great pizza dough is also related to time; she gives her dough plenty of time to rest.
