This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

The most interesting part is somebody calling a pizza crust a pizza shell.
They called it crust first but people complained that the crust was just the rim bit.
That's very weird. I've never heard of anybody calling the entire crust a shell and just the outer crust the crust. Maybe among people who frequently make pizza instead of just consume it.
Also the book I follow for this dough calls these empty par-baked pizza doughs "shells", but you're right
Crust is the thicker bit on the perimeter. You wanted to reference the base of the pizza.
The thicker part on the perimeter is the Cornicione.
In the US, the word crust is often incorrectly used to describe the edge of the pizza. The crust is the whole bread part of the pizza, not only the edge.
I see brain
That's some low calorie crust
That's why they call it the "window pane" test
That's how you test for gluten development. But you don't bake bread at that thickness. And certainly not pizza.
Pizza condom so thin it's like it's not even there
Now you have something you can use to safely stare at the sun
The solar eclipse is coming in April. Better keep this pizza handy!
I'm pretty sure the "window pane" test is ment for uncooked dough
It's still mostly raw. It's just par-baked
Now that's some gluten development.
