Can anyone help me with this?? Do I take the wax paper off of the bottom of the brownie before I start putting the ingred. on top, or do I leave it on. But how do I cut the brownie when I am done with the paper still on. This might be a dumb question, but I'm not sure.

Thanks
 
if it's the recipe I'm thinking of, you bake the brownie on PARCHMENT PAPER not wax paper, on the large pizza stone. This is to prevent the brownie batter to bake off the stone. After the brownie was finished baking, I just decorated it as usual, leaving the paper there, not worth the trouble to take it off, and it doesn't take away from the looks of it. Might be nice to leave it there so the guests see that you needed to use Parchment Paper to bake the brownie on. Hope that helps

Yeah, thanks. When you cut it do you just peel the paper off when serving a piece. I thought it was wax paper.
 
I used the slice and serve after cutting it, and it separates from it pretty easily.
 
OppsWhen I made this I accedently used Wax paper, it sticks like crazy, you can't get it off! so in the middle of the show I'm trying to pry the wax paper off, and some of the guest had to eat the wax paper, lol. But I did tell them that if I had used the PC Parchment paper this wouldn't have happend. lol
When I make it I leave it on the parchment paper so the guest can see how I did everything. I make this ALL the time now, it's a real hit!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use wax paper instead of parchment paper for my Peanutty Brownie Pizza?

No, it is not recommended to use wax paper instead of parchment paper. Wax paper is coated with a thin layer of wax, which can melt and transfer to your food when exposed to heat, potentially creating a mess and affecting the taste.

What happens if I use wax paper in the oven for my Peanutty Brownie Pizza?

If you use wax paper in the oven, the wax can melt and smoke, possibly catching fire. This can ruin your brownie pizza and create a hazardous situation in your kitchen.

Can I line my baking pan with wax paper for no-bake recipes?

Is there a difference in how wax paper and parchment paper perform in baking?

Yes, there is a significant difference. Parchment paper is heat-resistant and non-stick, making it ideal for baking. Wax paper, on the other hand, is not heat-resistant and can melt or catch fire in the oven.

What can I use if I don't have parchment paper for my Peanutty Brownie Pizza?

If you don't have parchment paper, you can use aluminum foil (lightly greased) or simply grease your baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
