FAQs
- Can I use frozen pizza dough instead of refrigerated?
Yes, just ensure it’s fully thawed and at room temperature before working with it. Let it sit out for about 2 hours to make it easier to handle. - How thin should I slice the steak?
Aim for paper-thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Partially freezing the steak for 30 minutes makes it easier to achieve thin slices. - Why are my breadsticks leaking filling?
This usually happens if the edges aren’t sealed properly. Make sure to pinch the seams firmly and use fork tines to create a tight seal. - What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to maintain the crispy exterior. Avoid microwave reheating as it can make them soggy. - Can I prepare these for a large party?
Absolutely! Double or triple the recipe easily. You can prep components ahead and assemble just before baking. - Do I need to let the dough rise?
No, refrigerated pizza dough doesn’t require additional rising time. However, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for easier handling. - What if I can’t find provolone cheese?
Mozzarella, white American cheese, or a mix of melting cheeses like fontina and gruyere work great as alternatives.
