GET YOUR TOPPINGS READY
Ensure your toppings are ready to put on your stretched dough immediately.
 
Before placing your dough on the pizza peel, remember to dust it with fine semolina. 

This prevents the dough from sticking and allows your pizza to release easily.

PREHEAT FOR 15 MINUTES
Turn up the dial and heat on full power for 15 minutes to reach MAX temperature. 

There's two ways to measure this to achieve the perfect pizza...

With my
Digital Infrared Thermometer
The rear of the stone should measure between 420°C – 450°C 

Side mounted temperature gauge
The dial should read 300°C
Why are they different?
My thermometer can take targetted readings from different areas of the stone, depending on what you are cooking. The side mounted temperature gauge is deliberately calibrated to the centre of the stone to give the most universal temperature - because my oven is useful for cooking more than just pizza!

OVEN OFF THEN LAUNCH YOUR PIZZA
Turn the OVEN OFF just before you launch your pizza.
 
 This will give you more time for the base of the dough to crisp up, making the pizza easier to turn, and prevent burning.

Once you see the back edge bubbling and browning, use your peel to turn the pizza 90°.

OVEN ON LOW & TURN REGULARLY
After your first turn, set the oven back on to the lowest heat.

Keep an eye on your pizza - turn it every 15-20 seconds for an even bake.

REMOVE, ENJOY & TURN UP HEAT
Remove your pizza when the whole crust has browned, serve, and enjoy!

If you’re cooking another pizza, turn the heat back up to maximum to maintain stone temperature and repeat the process.
