crusts
Pizza's outer rings
Crusts is plural of crust—the hardened outer layer of bread, pie, or the earth itself.
Children often reject bread crusts; pizza crusts get left on plates or dipped in sauce.
Beyond baking, crusts form on wounds, snow, or anything developing a hardened surface: The mud had dried into crusts on his boots.
