Step-by-step instruction without your screen going to sleep

  • 14 ounces pre-made raw pizza dough
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella slices
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnishing

Utensils

  • Rolling Pin
  • Parchment Paper
  • Step 1

    Install SearPlate in the bottom level of the unit, then close door. Select FRESH PIZZA, set temperature to 500°F, and set time to 7 minutes. Press the setting dial to begin preheating. The timer will start counting down as soon as the unit has preheated. Simply turn the dial to add time, or prep ingredients beforehand.

  • Step 2

    While unit is preheating, lightly coat a rolling pin with flour, then roll to flatten out dough into a 12-inch round circle about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer pizza dough to a sheet of parchment paper.

  • Step 3

    Top the dough with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Then use a pastry brush or your fingers to gently rub olive oil onto the outer edge of the dough

  • Step 4

    When unit has preheated, open door, then using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza to hot SearPlate. After 4 minutes of cooking, open door and carefully pull the parchment paper out from under the pizza, allowing the pizza to go directly onto the SearPlate. Close door to finish cooking.

  • Step 5

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