Note from Ricardo

Bake in a pizza oven

To bake in a pizza oven, simply preheat the appliance on high (“MAX” setting) for 20 minutes with the door closed. Put a disc of dough on a lightly floured pizza peel (don’t use parchment paper). Put the toppings on the pizza.

With the peel, slide one pizza at a time onto the hot stone. Bake for about 2 to 3 minutes, rotating 4 or 5 times during baking until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted all over.
