Making & Baking

Step 1:

Preheat your Gozney Pizza Oven stone opposite the flame to 650°F/340°C. Press and open the dough into a 10-12” circle, degassing the dough completely to the Edges. Place onto a floured peel.

Step 2:

Top and launch the pizza into your Gozney Dome. Bake with a low flame turning 90 degrees every 30-45 seconds for 3-4 minutes.

Step 3:

For the final minute of baking, turn the flame to high to obtain more colour. Turn the pizza frequently.

Step 4:

Transfer to a cooling rack and rest for around 1 minute before cutting.

Step 5:

Garnish with oregano, extra virgin olive oil and Pecorino Romano pizza.

Step 6:

Slice and enjoy!
