Demo text: the part your readers want to skip
This isn’t a real blog post. It’s demo text standing in for the long story above the recipe on a typical food blog, so the snippet at the top of this page has something to jump over.
Picture what would normally go here: how this pizza became a Friday night tradition, what the kitchen smelled like, and three tips about yeast. Those stories have their place. They show your personality, give regular readers a reason to stick around and leave room to answer the questions people have about a recipe.
But plenty of visitors arrive with just one question: what do I need, and how do I make it? Maybe they’ve made this recipe five times and only need the oven temperature. Maybe they’re standing in the kitchen with flour on their hands and a phone on the counter. For them, every extra screen of text is one more thing between them and dinner.
That’s the problem a recipe snippet solves. WP Recipe Maker can add one automatically at the top of your posts, so readers who want the story can still read it, and readers who want the recipe are one click away. You don’t have to shorten a single post to make both of them happy.
Still scrolling? This is what your readers go through without a snippet, and on a phone it takes even longer. The recipe is just below. To see the difference, head back to the top of the page and try the button instead.
Amazing Vegetable Pizza
Every night can be pizza night. A quick homemade dough, a good tomato sauce and whatever vegetables you have on hand.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Stir the water, yeast and sugar together in a large bowl. Rest for 5 minutes, until the mixture looks foamy.1 cup water, 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp sugar
- In a second bowl, mix the flour and salt.2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp salt
- Add the flour mixture and the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured counter for 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and springs back when you press it.2 tbsp olive oil
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot, until puffy.
- Meanwhile, put a baking sheet upside down on the middle rack and preheat the oven to
450 °F or 
475 °F. - Divide the dough in two. Stretch each half into a 12-inch round on a sheet of parchment paper, leaving the edges a little thicker.
- Spread the tomato sauce over the dough and top with the mozzarella, onion, peppers and rosemary. Slide the pizzas, still on their parchment, onto the hot baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles.1/2 cup tomato sauce, 8 oz mozzarella, 1/2 red onion, 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 red pepper, 1 tsp rosemary
No rolling pin? Press the dough out with your fingertips instead. It keeps more air in the crust.

Notes
Swap the toppings for whatever vegetables you have lying around: mushrooms, zucchini, spinach or olives all work. It will probably taste just as amazing!
Short on time? Make the dough the day before and let it rise in the fridge overnight. It gets even more flavorful. Take it out 30 minutes before shaping.
