cook your pizza just like the professionals, giving you a perfect pizza parlour crust every time.
FIRST TIME USE
Your Pizza Oven has been manufactured with a protective coating to the heating elements.
When rst using your Pizza Oven, heat it up to maximum temperature for 15 minutes (see
power/temperature instructions below) without food or Pizza Stone. A small amount of smoke
and/or odour may occur. This is normal and will dissipate after rst use. Let Pizza Oven cool down
before restarting it again.

setting to turn ON unit. Power Indicator Light will come on. Note: If temperature setting
is too low, unit will not come on. If so, adjust temperature setting higher.

TIPS
• Dust Pizza Stone lightly with our (wheat, corn) just before placing Pizza in Oven. Do

375ºF. Thawed Pizza which is half-baked will take some 10-12 minutes to cook at 375ºF,
while frozen Pizza will need more time and higher temperature (follow indications on
packaging). Reheat cooked Pizza at 350ºF for some 7-10 minutes. Always CAREFULLY
monitor Pizza when in the oven. DO NOT let burn or overcook.
• Your Pizza Oven can also be used to cook many other foods (meat, sh, seafood,
vegetables, small cakes, etc.). ALWAYS use Pizza Stone to cook food in Pizza Oven. If
cooking meat or other baked food, ALWAYS cook in a baking pan. Monitor food closely to
ensure it doesn’t overcook or burn.

RECIPES
BASIC PIZZA DOUGH
(Makes 2 Large Pizzas, or Four Thin Pizzas)
• 2 Packages yeast (or ½ oz. or 4½ tsp of yeast)
• 2 tsp sugar
• 4 cups of our or more
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1½ cup of warm water
Mix yeast and sugar in a bowl. Add ½ cup of warm water and mix well. The water should be
between 100ºF - 110º F. Let stand for some 5 min. for yeast and sugar to activate. In a large
mixing bowl, add our, salt, olive oil, 1 cup of warm water and the yeast mixture. Mix this
with a fork to get all the liquid absorbed by the our. Place a handful of our on a mixing
surface. Dust your hands and spread out the our.
Empty the contents of the bowl on to the our. Knead the dough until the texture is
smooth and uniform. If the dough seems a little sticky, add a little more our. Cut the
dough in half. Dust a rolling pin with our and gently roll out on a ouredpastry board until
the dough is the desired shape. Keep using our, as needed so the dough doesn’t stick.
Dust corn meal on Pizza Peel, pick up pizza dough and garnish with your favourite tomato
sauce, ingredients, vegetables, meats and cheese. Place pizza directly on Pizza Stone (dust
also lightly with corn meal) in a pre-heated oven. Set Temperature setting and Timer and
