Frisco - question about Lavash Pizza

Frisco,
After seeing your pizza pictures, I was inspired to try my own.  It was really good, but the crust wasn't crispy all through, it was soft, and I couldn't pick up the "slice."

Do you prebake the bread so that the whole thing is crispy?   Do you put olive oil on the crust?  (Mine stuck to the pan.)

I steamed some spinach first.  Then I spread the Lavash with pizza quick sauce, canned shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cheese.  Baked at 450 for about 3 minutes.  The sides of the crust were browning, so I took it out.

It was delicious, just not crispy!

What do you do differently, for next time I make it?

Thanks!

I made lavash pizza last night also. I did pre cook the bread for about 3 minutes until it was lightly browned and puffy then added the sauce with onion bacon bits and cheese. The crust was perfectly crispy.

I now do mine in a toaster oven.....so easy........

Yes, I pre toast/crisp the Lavash before I put any toppings.......

Toaster oven on 325-350..........No pan.....firm/crisp it to your desire.....top with your fav stuff....in a pan this time bake for 3-4 minutes.

If you pre-bake the Lavash and get most the moisture out of it....you don't need oil on the pan.

I do light spray evoo (Misto Sprayer) on the top of the whole pizza including the exposed Lavash edges.

The last one I showed, I used chopped raw spinach....came out perfect.

Thanks, Herbie and Frisco!
I was wondering if I could use raw spinach.  I won't have to steam it next time.
I'm looking forward to the next time I make it, having a crunchy crust!
