Neapolitan Style Pizza
TIP: To ensure the dough is easy to work, leave out at room temperature for a few hours or until malleable enough to stretch.
TIP: If using a Ninja Pizza Peel, adding flour to the peel will also help prevent sticking when transferring your pizza or bread to the stone.
NOTE: For homemade dough, we recommend our Artisan Pizza Dough recipe.

Instructions
Step 1
Install the Accessory Frame in the bottom level of the unit, then place the Pizza Stone on top.
Step 2
Turn left-hand dial to select PIZZA, then use the right-hand dial to select NEAPOLITAN, and set time to 3 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 25 minutes).
Step 3
On a lightly floured work surface, stretch and toss dough by hand into a 10-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick.
Step 4
Evenly cover dough with pizza sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch edge for the crust. Then evenly top with sliced mozzarella. Do not overtop the pizza.
Step 5
When unit is preheated and ADD FOOD and PRS STRT is displayed, open door, slide a floured Pizza Peel under the pizza and transfer to the hot stone. Close door, select START/STOP, and cook for 3 minutes. If more time is necessary or a darker pizza is desired, increase the time using the right-hand dial.
Step 6
When cooking is complete, open door and remove pizza with peel. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
