The pizza plate is one of the important tools for making pizza, which can help us place the pizza dough on the tray and support the dough to expand during the baking process. The material, size, and depth of the pizza plate can all affect the baking effect and taste of the pizza.
1. Material: There are many types of materials for pizza plates, commonly including aluminum alloy, ceramics, iron, wood, etc. Different materials have different characteristics, such as aluminum alloy pizza plates that conduct heat quickly and are suitable for quick baking; Ceramic pizza plates are warm and transparent, providing a better texture at the bottom of the pizza; Wooden pizza plates are more environmentally friendly, but care should be taken to prevent them from cracking due to temperature changes.
2. Size: There are also many sizes of pizza plates, commonly including 6 inches, 8 inches, 9 inches, 12 inches, etc. The choice of size depends on personal taste and needs. Generally speaking, the larger the size, the larger the portion size of the pizza.
3. Depth: There are two types of pizza plates: deep and light. A deep pizza plate is thicker and can withstand more weight, making it suitable for making thicker pizza bases; A shallow pizza plate is thinner and suitable for making thinner pizza bases.
When choosing a pizza plate, you can choose the appropriate material, size, and depth according to your own needs and preferences. For example, if you like thin bottomed pizza, you can choose a shallow pizza plate; If you like thick crust pizza, you can choose a deep crust pizza dish. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the hygiene and maintenance of the pizza plate to ensure its service life.
