- ✓Bake at exactly 360°F for 15 minutes to render pepperoni fat while crisping edges - higher temps burn the edges before the center sets, lower temps create soggy texture.timing360°F for 15 minutes
- ✓Use low-moisture mozzarella (45-50% moisture content) instead of fresh to prevent steam buildup that makes the pepperoni base soggy.ingredient45-50% moisture
- ✓Pat vegetables completely dry with paper towels and salt tomatoes for 10 minutes to draw out excess water that would make the wrap soggy.technique10 minutes
