- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

TOPPINGS
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices

Step 1
In a medium bowl, stir yeast into warm water until dissolved. Add remaining dough ingredients and stir vigorously to combine, then cover and let rest for 1 hour.
-
Step 2
Install SearPlate in the bottom level of the unit, then close door. Select FRESH PIZZA, set temperature to 450°F, and set time to 12 to 15 minutes (depending on desired doneness). Press the setting dial to begin preheating.

Step 3
While unit is preheating, lightly coat a rolling pin with flour, then roll dough into a 10-inch round circle. With your hands, push the center of the dough to create a well, then pull the center of the dough out to create a thicker than average crust. The center should be about 1-inch thick, while the crust should be about 1 1/2-inches thick. The final pizza should be 12 inches in diameter.

Step 4
Transfer pizza dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Top the dough with sliced mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, and sausage. Evenly cover with crushed tomatoes.

Step 5
When unit has preheated, open door, then transfer the pizza on the parchment paper to hot SearPlate.
-
Step 6
Remove parchment from bottom of pizza after 4 to 5 minutes of cooking, sliding pizza directly onto the SearPlate. Continue cooking.

Step 7
When cooking is complete, carefully remove pizza from the hot SearPlate. Let pizza cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with Parmesan and fresh basil. Serve warm.
