For ease and flavor? Semolina. It’s the closest match and looks gorgeous. For gluten-free crunch? Rice flour. It’s weirdly perfect. For pure surprise? Panko bread crumbs. Trust me on this.
Now go forth. Raid your pantry. Embrace the chaos. Your next pizza might not be traditional, but it will be yours. And isn’t that the whole point of cooking? Experiment, laugh, and eat well.
Remember: The best substitute is the one you have on hand. So grab that bag of almond flour, grits, or even crushed-up crackers. Your pizza adventure is calling. Crunch on, friend.
