Cooking Tips & Tricks
IMPORTANT:
1)
Always dust your working space and tools with a generous amount of flour to stop the
dough from sticking to the surfaces.
2) Always pre-heat your pizza oven before cooking anything.
3) Please make sure to turn the pizza halfway to ensure even cooking.
4) Cook your pizza for between 1-3 minutes (200g of pizza dough).
FLOUR
Flour is your best friend when making pizza! It will stop the dough from sticking to your
hands, working surface, and most importantly to the peel. (Peel not Included.)
•
Stretching the Base
With your hands, generously dust the working surface with flour. Place the pre-made dough
ball on the working surface. The dough should stretch easily, so start to create the rounded
base by working your figertips from the bottom all the way up. Make sure to leave a 1cm rim
all around the edges. Turn the pizza upside down and repeat the process. This should push
all the air to the bottom to form the crust. Repeat this (gently) twice on each side.
You can of course use a rolling pin, but keep in mind this will create a denser base.
TOPPINGS
There are no rule here — you can use whatever you want for your pizza toppings!
We have two helpful tips for you to follow:
1)
Don't make the toppings too high, you risk them sliding off the pizza when you place it
into the oven!
2) Use paper towels to dry out any wet ingredients. This includes, but not limited to, fresh
mozzarella and rehydrated porcini mushrooms. No one likes a wet base!
