Frequently Asked Questions
Should you use oil-packed or dry sun-dried tomatoes for pizza?
Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes are preferred for pizza because they are softer, more flavorful, and ready to use. Dry sun-dried tomatoes should be rehydrated in warm water for 20 minutes before using.
How do you cut sun-dried tomatoes for pizza?
Slice oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips or rough chop them. Their intense flavor means a little goes a long way, so distribute small pieces evenly across the pizza.
