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
plastic 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.
