There's nothing quite like fresh, homemade pizza, but it can be hard to get the crust to crisp up just right. One tool you can use to achieve that satisfying, crispy crust is a pizza stone, which is a flat, hard disc that’s usually made of ceramic or stone. The surface is very porous, so it absorbs the excess moisture from the dough baking on top of it, leaving it crispy. In addition to pizza, these stones can be used to make cookies, biscuits, and bread. All you need is your stone and this guide, and you can start making foods with a lighter, crispier texture that are sure to be a hit.
