Pizza Recipe and Baking Temperature
Pizza Dough Recipe
Flour (*bakers % = 100)
Always use a high quality flour (double zero (00) preferably an Italian brand as quality is higher and
more consistent)
Water (*bakers % = 65)
Salt (*bakers % = 3)
Yeast Fresh, (*bakers % = 1) or Dry (equivalent to fresh yeast as recommended by producer)
Baking Temperature (classic margarita pizza)
290 C / 554 F = 4min 10sec (change water to 50% change salt to 1.5%, add sugar with 1.5%, add oil with 3.5%)
310 C / 590 F = 3min 40sec (change water to 50% change salt to 1.5%, add sugar with 1.5%, add oil with 3.5%)
330 C / 626 F = 3min 20sec (change water to 55% change salt to 2%, add sugar with 1%, add oil with 3.5%)
350 C / 662 F = 2min 50sec (change water to 60% change salt to 2.5%, add sugar with 0.5%, add oil with 3.5%)
370 C / 698 F = 2min 30sec (baking at this temperature or higher we recommend our high temperature model)
400 C / 752 F = 2min 10sec
430 C / 806 F = 1min 50sec (at this temperature or higher the pizza “positively dry out” as most of the fluids vaporize)
460 C / 860 F = 90sec (5sec at this temperature or higher can make the difference between failure and success)
490 C / 914 F = 60sec

Important!
- Always bake Pizza with the ovens ventilation open
- Never set the Top Heat lower than 3
- Use the entire oven deck by rotating the placement of the pizzas (never have a favourite spot in the oven)
- Standard setting for Top Front is (+2 for Pizza, +0 for Bread and to Roast/Bake/Grill Food), see page 28.
