PIZZA
For baking different types and sizes of pizza and bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of the baking plates halfway through cooking.

USEFUL TIPS
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories, and levels to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating ( where required ). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings, to begin with, and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-colored metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
Using the “Forced Air” function, you can cook different foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time ( for example fish and vegetables ), using different shelves. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.
BREAD AUTO FUNCTION
For best results you should carefully follow the instructions, using the recipe for mixing 1000 g of dough: 600 g of flour, 360 g of water, 11 g of salt, and 25 g of fresh yeast ( or two packets of yeast powder ). For optimal rising, allow about 90 minutes at room temperature or 60 minutes in the oven using the “ Proving ” function. Put the dough into the ( cold ) oven, pour 100 ccs of cold drinking water onto the bottom of the oven, and activate the “ Bread Auto ” function. After cooking, leave the dough to stand on a wire shelf until completely cooled.
