💡 Pro Tips

- ✓Mix your tomato base with ketchup at a 3:1 ratio (tomato sauce to ketchup) because the ketchup's vinegar and sugar content mimics the tangy-sweet profile of authentic Pakistani bakery pizza sauce.ingredient3:1 ratio
- ✓Layer cheese as the final topping and bake at 475°F for 7-8 minutes so the Maillard reaction creates golden bubbling without overcooking the pre-baked crust underneath.timing475°F for 7-8 minutes
- ✓Use processed cheese or a blend of 60% mozzarella and 40% processed cheese because the emulsifiers create the stretchy, golden-brown finish characteristic of Pakistani bakery style.ingredient60% mozzarella, 40% processed
