Our recommendations on how to use this Pizza Stone:
To make perfect pizza dough, you will need the following:
- 300g Strong white bread flour
- 300g Tipo 00 flour
- 1x 7g sachet of instant dried yeast
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp salt 375ml warm water (don't use boiling hot water as it will destroy the yeast)
Experiment with your toppings but as an example; use tomato sauce or passata for your base and then top with grated cheese and pepperoni slices.
To make your dough:
- In a large mixing bowl add both types of flour (sieved), the yeast, salt, sugar and oil.
- Gradually add the warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
- The dough should be fairly sticky.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for at least 15 to 20 minutes until silky smooth and quite elastic.
- Sprinkle a large pinch of 00 flour into a large clean mixing bowl, place your dough ball in the center.
- Add another generous pinch of flour to coat.
- Wrap the bowl in cling film.
- Allow to rise in a warm place for around an hour, it should double in size.
- Divide the risen dough; there is enough for at least 4 paddle sized pizzas.
Or better yet, for variety - 6 individual style pizzas.
- Roll out using a heavily floured rolling pin - the thinner the better.
- Add a dollop of the tomato sauce/passata and spread out from there.
- Be sure to leave the outer ring clear for a crust.
- Add your favourite toppings!
Don't over do it as you'll risk an uneven cook - less is more!
- Rub or brush the crush section with oil for a golden finish.
At the BBQ:
- Light your charcoal using a Weber chimney starter
- When lit, fill both fuel holders and position together in the centre of the BBQ.
- Place your pizza stone on top of the cooking grates
- Close the lid and leave the BBQ for 10 minutes to heat up the stone.
- Make your pizzas and slide onto the stone using the supplied baking tray (or pizza paddle if you have one)
- Close the lid and let the pizza cook for 3-5 minutes, enjoy!
