Tips for Perfect Pizza Chips
Use Low-Moisture Cheese – Moist cheese releases too much liquid, preventing crisping.Pizza Chip Kit
Space Chips Apart – They spread as they bake, so leave enough room.
Let Them Cool Fully – The chips crisp up as they cool, so resist the urge to eat them right away.
Don’t Overload Toppings – Too many toppings can make them soggy.
Store Properly – Keep in an airtight container once cooled to retain crunch.
