Pizza, quiche and savoury cakes
Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for
preparing pizza, quiche and savoury cakes. You can
find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings
tables.
Also refer to the notes in the section on allowing dough
to rise.
Only use original accessories supplied with your
appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking
compartment and the operating modes of your
appliance.
Steam- assisted baking
Certain types of baked item (e.g. yeast-risen pastries)
get a more crispy crust and a more glossy surface if
baked with the steam assist mode. The baked item
does not dry out as much.
Steam-assisted baking is only possible on one level.
Shelf positions
Use the indicated shelf positions.
Baking on one level
When baking on one level, use the following shelf
positions:
■ Tall baked items: Level 2
■ Flat baked items: Level 3
If you are using 4D Hot air as the type of heating, you
can choose between levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Baking on several levels
Use 4D hot air. Baked items that are placed into the
oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time
will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Baking on two levels:
■ Universal pan: Level 3
Baking tray: Level 1
■ Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack
First wire rack: Level 3
Second wire rack: Level 1
Baking on four levels:
■ 4 wire racks with greaseproof paper
First wire rack: Level 5
Second wire rack: Level 3
Third wire rack: Level 2
Fourth wire rack: Level 1
By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can
make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position
baking tins/dishes next to one another or offset and
vertically stacked in the cooking compartment.
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and
that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the
appliance door and the outer rail pointing downwards .
Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as
far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the
appliance door.
Use the universal pan for pizzas with many toppings.
Baking tins
Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes
extend baking time and mean that the baked item will
not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using these
baking tins/dishes and using top/bottom heating, slide
in the tin/dish at level 1.
The baking tins must be resistant to heat and steam for
use in steam-assisted baking.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to
size.
Frozen products
Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted.
Remove any ice on the food.
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for
various dishes. The temperature and baking time
depend on the consistency and amount of the dough.
Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using
the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in
more even browning. You can use a higher setting next
time if necessary.
