  • 400g PizzaExpress Pizza Dough
  • 8 tbsp Passata
  • 150g Mozzarella, drained and torn
  • Black pepper
  • Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Drizzle of olive oil
  • Fresh basil
  • Step 1

    Install the Accessory Rack in the bottom level of the unit, then place the Pizza Stone on top.

  • Step 2

    Turn dial to select PIZZA, then use the right dial to select ARTISAN then use the right-hand dial to select ARTISAN and set time to 2 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 15 minutes). Unit will beep once preheat is complete.

  • Step 3

    Divide the PizzaExpress dough into two equal balls. Lightly flour a clean work surface (this will prevent the dough from sticking). Stretch and toss dough by hand into a 25cm circle about 1/3 cm thick.

  • Step 4

    Top the dough with passata, leaving a 1.5 cm edge for the crust. Then evenly sprinkle mozzarella, oregano and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Do not overtop the pizza.

  • Step 5

    When unit is preheated and ADD FOOD is displayed, open the door, slide a floured pizza peel under the pizza, then transfer the pizza to the hot stone.

  • Step 6

    Close door and press START/STOP to begin cooking. If more time is necessary or a darker pizza is desired, increase the time using the dial.

  • Step 7

    When cooking is completed, remove pizza using the peel and let rest for a few minutes before cutting, garnish with basil leaves and serve. Repeat with remaining dough.
