Tips & Ideas
Conventional Oven cooking Instructions for Thin & Crispy Base
Select bake mode – avoid Fan Bake if possible (the best results are achieved on bake) and set to 220ᵒc. Remove the wrap and slide your pizza low into the oven either onto a preheated tray, pizza stone, or directly onto the rack. Bake until cheese has melted or till desired texture is achieved, usually around 14-16 minutes.
BBQ Cooking Instructions for Thin & Crispy Base
Preheat hooded BBQ to 230ᵒc then turn burners onto low to maintain temperature. Place topped pizza directly on rack, close hood and bake for 6-7 minutes, rotating regularly for even baking, or alternatively place on pre-heated pizza stone directly on BBQ.
Extra Oven Tips
- Set the dial on your oven to the setting that produces the most BOTTOM HEAT (usually the bake setting), as this is the secret to a crispy base and replicates that of a true pizza oven.
- You can cook your pizza in the oven on a pre-heated pizza stone, especially if your oven is a modern one with no bottom element
- We choose to place the pizza directly onto the lowest oven rack for an even crispier crust. Try it!
