Notes

- For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts
- Can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw at room temperature before serving
FAQs
Can I make this in a different sized pan?
Yes! You can use a 9×13 rectangular pan, but the baking time may need to be adjusted by a few minutes.
Can I use a boxed brownie mix as a shortcut?
Absolutely! Prepare according to package directions and spread in the pizza pan for a quick alternative.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Not as written, but you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
How do I know when the brownie base is done?
The edges should be set and slightly pulled away from the pan, but the center should still be slightly soft. A toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge should come out with a few moist crumbs.
