circle.* Lightly prick dough with fork. Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough. Place toppings evenly over sauce; sprinkle
with mozzarella cheese. Place loaded baking pan on rotating oven and bake using the DUAL setting for 11 to 13 minutes
or until cheese is melted and bubbling. if you prefer a crisp crust and have a large amount of toppings, it may be desirable
to use the LoWER setting for 4 to 6 minutes before switching to DUAL for 11 to 13 minutes.
*To make baking pan more stable for rolling or stretching dough, place a kitchen towel under baking pan.

How do I get a crispier crust or make my toppings browner?
Always begin cooking your pizza using the recommended settings in the cooking chart on page 4 or on the back of the
rotating oven. Then at the end of the recommended cooking time if you would like a crispier crust, slide the switch to
LoWER; if you would like the toppings more done, slide the switch to UPPER.
Then reset the timer by turning it
beyond “4” and then back to 1 or 2 minutes
and cook until pizza is done to your satisfaction. To avoid overcooking, do
not leave unit unattended.
When making cookies and cinnamon rolls, the inside seems doughy or the bottom gets too done? What am I doing
wrong?
you probably have not selected the correct setting. When baking refrigerated cookie dough and cinnamon rolls, bake
according to the chart on page 5. Begin using the UPPER setting, then partway through the cooking time, switch to the
DUAL setting.
When I cook rising crust pizza, sometimes the crust seems doughy or sometimes the crust doesn’t rise very much. Why?
your problem is caused by one of two things:
1. you did not follow the recommended cooking settings––cook 9- to 12-inch pizzas 10 to 12 minutes first on LoWER
and then 10 to 12 minutes on DUAL.
2. The yeast in your pizza crust is no longer fully active. The amount of rising and the consistency of a rising crust is
dependent upon the conditions of the yeast. Freshness, freezer temperatures, packaging (vacuum packaged is best), and
original dough quality are all important factors. Generally, more consistent results will be secured by nationally branded
pizzas since they abide by more rigorous packaging and quality standards than many regional/grocery store pizzas.
