Pizza
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
•
For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
•
For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
•
When proofing dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover bowl tightly with plas-
tic wrap to prevent crust formation.
•
Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
•
If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in
transferring the dough to the pan.
•
If par-baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
•
If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a
non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
•
Preheat baking stones while the oven is preheating.
•
Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in center of the rack.
•
Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
•
The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.
á
In the Pizza mode, heat from the lower and upper elements is cir-
culated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
