blackened crust
Burnt outer layer
Blackened crust is a pizza style where the edge of the crust is deliberately charred, producing dark blisters and a slightly bitter, smoky flavor.
The technique comes from high-heat cooking in wood-fired or coal ovens.
What might look burnt is prized in Neapolitan-style pizza: I love a good blackened crust with that leopard spotting.
