Creator's notes
Because the blend contains parmesan, store it in the fridge rather than the spice cabinet. Jessica makes a triple or quadruple batch in an old seasoning container and uses it on chicken and garlic pizza bread too — not all store-bought pizza seasonings contain parmesan, but hers does.
