Method

Step 1

Preheat the Slice Master Electric Pizza Oven to 230°C.

Step 2

Lay tomatoes on a small baking tray and drizzle lightly with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set tray in Slice Master Electric Pizza Oven and roast tomatoes until they are tender and begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from Slice Master Electric Pizza Oven and set aside.

Step 3

Stretch out 1 dough ball with floured hands, or roll it out on floured work surface, until it is about 28cm in diameter. Place dough on a flat surface.

Step 4

Spread 60ml of pesto sauce in a thin layer over pizza dough, leaving a 1cm border around the edge. Arrange half of roasted tomatoes over pizza. Tear mozzarella into long stringy pieces and scatter half of them over pizza. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of Parmesan cheese over the pizza. Transfer pizza to the pizza peel and cook pizza in the Slice Master Electric Pizza Oven.
