Pour the flour onto the bench in a heap, make a hollow centre to form the “well” and add a level
teaspoon of salt, sugar and olive oil. Crumble the yeast into a small cup of lukewarm water, pour it into the well a little at a time and start mixing. At the start the dough will be soft and sticky, but it will become stiffer and more elastic as you knead it. Thump the dough hard against the table and press your wrists against it to make it smooth and even. When you have repeated this procedure many times, you will find that the dough comes away from your hands and the bench easily and now forms a ball. Cut a cross on the top and leave to rise in a warm corner of the bench covered with a clean tea towel. Leave for about two hours, during which time the dough will double in size. At this point, after rising, the dough may be kneaded again for a few minutes and used immediately or frozen. |

Pizza Mix or Bread Mix It is better if you use a quality bread mix. Most of them will have a pizza dough recipe on the pack which will say to use 10% less water. Pitta Bread This is a great healthy alternative. They are readily available in every supermarket and will only take 2-3mins to cook in the PIZZA MAKER. Pre-made Base (Fresh) They normally take a few minutes longer because they tend to have a thicker base. Use less topping to ensure a quicker cooking time. Pre-made Base (Frozen) For best results make sure the base is defrosted. For a quick defrost method; Turn oven setting to 1. Add topping to frozen base. Once the light is off add topped frozen pizza to stone base and close the lid. After 2-3mins turn the setting to 2 and cook pizza. Frozen-topped Pizza It is important that these pizza’s are fully defrosted prior to cooking. Be aware that they tend to have a lot of moisture and can stick to the stone. So use your wooden paddles at the start. Calzone A different way to eat a pizza. Make sure they are not too thick. You can cook them on the stone or in the deep dish. Ricotta cheese is a great filling as you can make dessert calzone by adding banana, stewed apples etc. and serve it with ice cream. Toasted Sandwiches These can be cooked either on the stone base or in the deep dish pan. Add you favourite fillings and place the bread on to the stone. Close the lid and turn the setting up. Check after 3-4mins. When ready, spread butter on the out side of the toasted sandwich. |
