Why didn't the toppings on my pizza stick to the dough?
I made homemade pizza the other night and it was delicious except for the fact the toppings wouldn't stay on the cooked dough. It was a Chicken Alfredo pizza with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and chicken. I used a metal round pizza pan to bake the pizza and the taste was amazing! However, like I stated earlier, the topping and the cheese would fall off. Why is this? How do I make it stick to the dough? Maybe I put too many toppings on the pizza, but I believe I put a perfect, good amount. Thanks for the feedback! (:
Best Answer
Probably, you spreaded too much sauce on your pizza base; that is why melted cheese could not get onto the base.
You might make that pizza in a hasty. So, you put your uncooked pizza in an overheated oven.
You need to select the mozzarella cheese which can work as like as glue stick used in heat-gun. I believe you can make your pizza perfectly after 2/3 more trial and error.

the simplest way to fix it is mechanically - mixing part of the cheese into the sauce. This helps add moisture to the cheese, since it is coated in the sauce, and helps dry the sauce (less cheese on top means the sauce is more exposed).Should you cook pizza dough before adding toppings?
It's absolutely essential to pre-bake the dough for 5-6 minutes before adding your toppings. Once you've added Pizza Sauce and all your toppings, return it to the oven to finish baking! This will result in a crust that holds on it's own and is crispy on the outside, and soft and airy on the inside.Do you put cheese on pizza first or last?
Do you put toppings or cheese on pizza first? When making pizza what goes on first? Typically tomato sauce will go on first on top of the dough, then cheese and then toppings. This allows the cheese to bubble and brown and the toppings to get direct heat and become crisp.What prevents pizza from sticking?
Dusting your pizza peel is a time-honored and essential way to keep the dough from sticking. Many pizza chefs simply use flour, and they like the result. But flour typically requires the pizza chef to work quickly and keep the dough in near-constant motion to prevent it from absorbing the added flour and sticking.Why Didn't You Stop Me?
