What can be used instead of cornmeal on the bottom pizza?

Here are alternatives to cornmeal for pizza:

1. Semolina Flour: Semolina is a type of coarse durum wheat flour that provides a crispy texture similar to cornmeal. Use semolina flour evenly on the pizza pan or pizza peel to prevent sticking.

2. Olive Oil: To keep your pizza from sticking to the pan or pizza peel, brush a thin layer of olive oil over the surface. This works well for pizzas with thin crusts or if you want a more rustic look.

3. Parmesan Crust: If you want to add extra flavor to your pizza, try covering the bottom with grated Parmesan cheese. The cheese will create a crispy golden crust.

4. Parchment Paper: Parchment paper is useful for ensuring your pizza doesn't stick. Line your pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper and place the uncooked pizza on top of it.
