Tips for launching your pizza:
•
Use good quality 00 flour in your pizza dough recipe, and for dusting.
This will give your dough the perfect texture.
•
Get your peel, dough and ingredients to room temperature. Cold
dough will spring back on itself and stick; warm dough will stretch too
far and tear. If you stretch your pizza on a warm peel, the dough will
start to sweat, which will cause it to stick.
•
Flour your hands and the surface you are working on before you begin
stretching.
•
Check for holes in the pizza base before adding toppings
–
if sauce
gets between the dough and peel it will have a gluey effect and your
dough will stick.
•
Before you add any toppings - stop and shake the peel to check that
your dough is moving freely. If it’s stuck, pick it up and add more flour
to the peel. You have to do this before you add toppings!
Please note:
Food must be thoroughly cooked before if it consumed.
Please note:
After the first round of baking is complete, if you want to
continue to cook another pizza, please change the baking time to around
10 seconds between each rotation as the temperature inside the oven will
have increased, and can reach up to 350 degrees.
