The base of the roasting oven is ideal for making pizza at home. you can also use baking tray if preferred.
I suggest to prepare double quantity of pizza dough , store it in the freezer until needed!

- Remove from the bowl and divide into 230-260g balls.
- Reshape the portions and place in an oiled container. Loosely Cover with an oiled cling film. Store at room temperature for use within 2-5 hours. (If checking the temperature of the dough, best temperature of the dough is 18-22˚C). or Store in the fridge overnight for later use and slow proof.
- Preheat the roasting oven, with the extra boost of heat if you have the option.
- Roll each pizza base of dough on a floured working surface.
- Place each pizza on parchment paper to be able to move the dough without tearing it off.
- Next, spread the tomato sauce onto each of the pizza base, leaving approx. 1” from the edge, then layer with some cheese, any of your favourite toppings.
- Transfer to the base of the roasting oven and bake for 5-6 minutes depending on the heat of the oven. Serve immediately.
