Crestless Pizza Bowl

Step 4: Add Toppings

Layer on your favorite toppings—sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, peppers, or olives.
For best flavor, balance meats with veggies.

Step 5: Repeat Layers

Add another spoonful of sauce, followed by more cheese.
Keep layering until your bowl is almost full (usually 2–3 layers).

Step 6: Final Topping

Finish with a generous layer of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Add a pinch of Italian seasoning for an herby kick.

Step 7: Bake

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the bowls on a baking sheet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

Step 8: Serve

Remove carefully from the oven and let cool slightly (the bowls will be hot).
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
Enjoy your gooey, cheesy, crustless pizza experience with a fork or spoon.
