for about 200 - 250 g of flour according
to the packaging instructions.

• If your pizza dough tastes of yeast,

reduce the amount of yeast further. The
long rising time compensates for the
reduced amount of yeast.

• For more aromatic dough, add sea salt.
• When tasting just after adding the salt,

the dough should initially taste slightly
salty. If you can clearly taste the flour or
yeast, add another pinch of salt. The
salty taste becomes milder when the rest
of the flour is added.

• Do not place the dough near an

additional heat source to rise. You may
save time, but the flavour will suffer as a
result.

• The resting time of 24 hours is extremely

important for a good tasting pizza
dough.

• Pizza dough prepared in this way can

be stored in the fridge for several days.

6.2 Making the pizza sauce

Ingredients:
• roughly 400 - 500 g of tomato passata

or chopped tomatoes (or, even better:
roughly 600 - 750 g of fresh, aromatic
tomatoes, skinned and chopped)

• fresh basil
• fresh oregano (alternatively, use dried

oregano)

• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 an onion
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon of good olive oil (virgin or

extra-virgin)

Preparation:
1. Roughly chop the garlic.
2. Strip the herbs from their stems and

finely chop.

3. Heat the olive oil in a suitable pan.
4. Add the garlic and fry until translucent.

Note: Do not allow the garlic to brown,
otherwise the sauce will taste bitter.

5. Add the tomatoes and stir.
6. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
7. Turn the heat down to a low level and

allow the sauce to simmer for at least 30
minutes.
Note: The sauce is ready when it has
reduced by at least half.

8. Remove the onion halves and the bay

leaf from the sauce.

9. Purée the sauce with a blender.

Note: If you do not have a blender
available, the sauce tastes just as good
without. But it will not be as smooth and
does not look as good.

10.Season with salt and pepper.

6.3 Preparing the topping

Prepare the topping by chopping the
ingredients to the desired size and
arranging them on the table.
For cheese, you can use grated Parmesan or
grated Gouda.

6.4 Preparing the appliance

1. Select a location which is firm, level and

not flammable. Maintain a distance of
approx. 50 cm from other objects.
Note: The pizza oven should not be
placed in a draught, as the heat cannot
then be retained under the lid 2 .
