Should You Preheat Your Oven for Pizza
Then are you ready to learn how to bake a yummy Italina pizza in your Bakers Rock oven? Let’s get started! The very first thing you need to do is preheat your oven. Preheat means to warm your oven before adding your pizza. This is super important because if the oven isn’t hot enough, your pizza isn’t going to cook properly and it is probably not going to taste good.
You'll learn that to preheat your Bakers Rock oven, you need to turn it on and set to 450°F cause that is the great temperature to prepare your pizza crust to be crisped just like they make in Italy! Once you set the temperature, just wait for about 15 to 20 minutes. This gives your oven enough time to heat up to properly cook your pizza.
Making the Best Dough and Choosing Timeless Toppings
Now that your oven is prepared and preheating, it’s time to select the proper dough and toppings for your pizza. You can either buy pre-made pizza dough or you can make your own. Making your own dough is really rewarding (and makes for a good family or friend project). But if you’re pressed for time or want to save time, store-bought dough is perfectly fine, and it works quite well, too!
The topping possibilities are endless! You can literally put anything you want on pizza. Now we know, the ingredients for an authentic Italian pizza are fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil leaves, and some tasty tomato sauce. These are typical in Italian and add an authentic flavor to your pizza. You can also experiment with different toppings including mushrooms, olives, onions, and colorful peppers. Be creative! You may find your favorite pizza combination by mixing and matching different toppings, and you may even find a new topping that you'll love!
Shaping Pizza Dough
To be able to make the best pizza, you must know how to properly shape your dough. Shaping the dough is a process that requires practice and patience, but don’t worry! It is going to take time and you will eventually be really good at it and a pro! Here’s a step-by-step for how to shape your pizza dough:
First, dust the flour onto a clean table or countertop, and this ensures that your dough does not stick. You should pat some flour onto your hands, as well.
Then apply the dough and slightly extend it with your hands. Turn the dough a bit as you stretch it to help keep it round.
Don’t pull it too hard or too fast, or it will snap or tear. If that happens, don’t worry! Feel free to squeeze it back together.
When the dough is close to the size that you want, gently transfer it to a pizza pan or pizza stone. Clumping it helps you bake it decently.
Baking Your Pizza
Now that your pizza dough is shaped and topped, it’s time to bake your pizza in the oven. To achieve a great crust, just take the following steps:
Put the pizza in the middle rack of the oven you preheated. This allows it to cook evenly on all side.
You will also need to bake the pizza, depending on your oven, for roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Watch it, and then look for the crust to become golden brown. This means it is cooking just fine!
To check if your pizza’s done, you can lift it up a bit with a spatula or your hands, to see if the bottom is brown and crispy. If it meets your approval, then get it out!
After your pizza is done baking, get your pizza out from the oven. It will be real hot so be careful! Give it a few minutes to cool before cutting and serving. That will allow the cheese and toppings to settle, making the pizza easier to eat.
How to Make Real Italian Pizza
While you can certainly make a basic Italian pizza at home without much guidance, there are a number of extra tips you can incorporate into your home baking experience to ensure your pizza is as authentic as possible, especially when using your own Bakers Rock oven:
