Hi,
i really love this recipe, have a gathering to attend and have to make 40 baskets. Can we make the baskets a day before and then add the filling and cheese and broil them while serving.
For How Many Hours Does The Pizza basket stay crippy.does it get saugy after some time.
Hi Shraddha,pizza basket is generally not very crispy. However you can half bake the basket and store it in the fridge. When you want to make it take it out add the filling and bake and broil for the remaining time. Thanks
