# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The ranch and buffalo sauce create this incredible creamy spicy combo that keeps everyone coming back for seconds
  • It comes together faster than delivery and you can customize the heat level exactly how your family likes it
02 -
  • Letting the dough relax at room temperature prevents it from snapping back when you try to stretch it
  • Don't overload with sauce or the crust will get soggy in the middle, which I learned the hard way
03 -
  • A pizza peel makes transferring to the oven so much easier, but the back of a baking sheet works in a pinch
  • If your crust is burning before the cheese melts, move it to the lower rack for the last few minutes
