Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 10–12 oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce (thinly spread)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Roll your pizza dough into a thin, even layer on a floured surface, aiming for about 1/8 inch thickness to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Add Olive Oil: Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to ensure a golden crust and prevent sogginess when adding toppings.
- Spread Tomato Sauce and Season: Evenly spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the oiled dough. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to infuse the classic pizza flavor.
- Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and a bit of Parmesan on top to ensure every chip has cheesy goodness.
- Bake and Cool: Transfer the prepared dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let the chips cool completely before breaking into chip-sized pieces to retain their shape and crunch.
Notes
- Roll the dough thin (about 1/8 inch) for the crispiest results.
- Spread sauce evenly and thinly to avoid sogginess.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote a crispy bottom crust.
- Allow chips to cool completely before breaking to keep them from crumbling.
- Add fresh herbs after baking for freshness and color.
