    Our tip Leave the door open (Sear/Sauté won't run with it shut) and stir every couple of minutes. As the sauce thickens it spits and starts to catch on the bottom.

    • Active dry yeast-5 g1½ tsp
    • Refine wheat flour-250 g2 cups9 oz

    Our tip The water should feel comfortably warm on your wrist, never hot, as hot water kills yeast. If it hasn't turned frothy after 10 minutes, start again with fresh yeast.

  2. Move SmartSwitch to cooker mode, select prove function and set temperature at 35°C95°F for . Press start.

    Our tip Cover the pan with cling film so the top of the dough doesn't dry into a skin. It's ready when it has roughly doubled in size.

To bake pizza

  1. Brush butter/spread butter paper in combi pan. Place the pizza dough in the combi pan and gently stretch or roll it evenly according to the pan size.

    Our tip If the dough keeps springing back as you stretch it, leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and try again. Once the gluten relaxes, it stretches easily.

  2. Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the base, leaving a little space around the edges. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese for the perfect cheesy melt.
  3. Arrange your choice of toppings like onion, capsicum, jalapeños, olives, corn, paneer, or chicken.
  4. Top it with another layer of cheese. You can use mozzarella alone or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for extra flavor. Note: - Sprinkle chili flakes, oregano, and a few basil leaves if desired.
  5. Move SmartSwitch to Air Fry mode, select the Pizza function, and set the temperature to:- Thin crust base: 190–200°C375–390°F for Medium crust base: 180–190°C355–375°F for Thick crust base: 180°C355°F for Note: Depending on the thickness of the dough, the cooking time may vary. If the pizza is not fully cooked, cook it for a couple of more minutes until the base is crisp and the cheese is perfectly melted.
