Substitution
Maddy from Mod Pizza copycat menu features a hand-tossed artisan crust with zesty marinara and a blend of fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and spinach. If fresh mozzarella is unavailable, you can substitute with shredded mozzarella or a mild melting cheese to maintain the creamy texture. When roasting red peppers is not an option, jarred roasted red peppers work well and save time. Your pizza stone or baking tray should be preheated for optimal crispiness, and using a pizza peel helps transfer the pizza safely into a hot oven. If you don't have a dough roller, hand-tossing the dough ensures an authentic artisan crust texture.
Tips
Ensure your pizza oven reaches a consistent 475degF (245degC) for an optimal crisp crust. When hand-tossing the artisan dough, dust your surface lightly with flour to prevent sticking and achieve a thin, even base. Spread zesty marinara sauce evenly using a ladle, avoiding soggy spots by leaving a small border around the edges. After baking for 10-12 minutes until the crust turns golden and cheese bubbles, let your pizza cool on a wire rack to maintain its crispness before slicing.
Nutritions
Maddy from Mod Pizza provides a balanced nutritional profile with ingredients rich in protein from fresh mozzarella and feta cheese, beneficial for muscle repair and growth. The roasted red peppers and fresh spinach contribute essential vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants that support your immune system. The artisan crust, hand-tossed for a lighter texture, supplies complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. Your meal delivers a wholesome combination of macronutrients and micronutrients essential for a healthy diet.
Storage
Store any leftover Maddy pizza in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in aluminum foil to retain freshness and prevent moisture loss. Refrigerate your pizza within two hours of baking and consume within 3-4 days for optimal flavor and safety. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375degF (190degC) on a pizza stone or baking tray to maintain the crispiness of the artisan crust and melty texture of the cheeses.
Variation or Alternatives
You can experiment with swapping fresh mozzarella for burrata to add a creamier texture and richer flavor. Try roasting your own red peppers to enhance sweetness and depth, or substitute with sun-dried tomatoes for an intense tang. Incorporate garlic-infused olive oil brushed on the crust before adding sauce to elevate aroma and taste. Using a pizza stone instead of a baking tray can help achieve a crispier crust by better heat distribution.
Allergies
Your Maddy pizza contains common allergens such as wheat in the artisan pizza dough and dairy in the fresh mozzarella and feta cheese. Those with gluten intolerance or milk allergies should exercise caution when consuming this pizza. Always check with Mod Pizza for cross-contamination risks if you have severe allergies.
