Hi everyone! Okay, I remade the brownie pizza tonight. Well just the brownie part actually. I used the large bar pan again and the 9x13 mix. This time I used regular, not low fat. It didn't stick! YAY! However, I couldn't get it spread evenly and one side ended up thin and one side ended up thicker. I mean it'd still work. Some would have the more fudgy side and some would have the more firmer side. But, do y'all have any tips on making it more even? This is the only piece of stoneware I have so using something else isn't an option. Thanks so much!
God bless,
Amanda
 
OK no answers for you but do I understand that you tried to use low fat brownie mix and it stuck to the large bar pan? Bummer, I'm really watching my calorie/fat intake and like to cook as low fat as possible.
 
I just used the back of a scraper to smooth it out. I wasn't too worried about the thickness. Plus if you have a little of both, you can please an entire brownie crowd. Some like them crunchy some like them chewy!

Michelle,
It stuck to the parchment paper, not the bar pan itself. I lined it with the paper because my pan is not seasoned. It's brand new. I'm sure if you sprayed the parchment with pam or something it would help. :)
God bless,
Amanda

Brush it with just a little bit of vegetable oil like you do for the warm nutty caramel brownies. I made some low fat yesterday and it worked great!

The batter is really thin on the brownies when you put it in the pan but after all the toppings are on, I don't think anyone will notice any difference! It's really the toppings that make it wonderful! Just adds to the brownie. Okay, now you are making want to make this again!
 
Make sure you are making cake-like brownies. Brush the pan with oil (Pam will make it sticky) until it is well seasoned.
