Perfect Dough the Foundation
We begin with classic Italian pizza dough - elastic, soft, and crunchy once baked.

- Water – 300 ml (warm, about 36–38 °C)
- Dry yeast - 7 g
- Sugar - 1 tsp
- Salt - 1 tsp
- Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Preparation:
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead by hand or in a mixer.
- Knead for 7–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 1.5–2 hours in a warm spot.
Sauce and Toppings - Balanced and Flavorful
Tomato sauce:
- Tomato puree or passata - 200 ml
- Garlic - 1 clove
- Olive oil - 1 tbsp
- Dried oregano and basil - ½ tsp each
- Salt and pepper - to taste
Preparation:
Sauté garlic in olive oil until golden, add tomatoes and spices. Simmer for 10 minutes and let cool.
Suggested toppings (adjust to your taste):
- Mozzarella - 150 g
- Ham - 100 g
- Mushrooms - 100 g
- Olives - optional
- Fresh basil leaves for serving
Baking in the Paco™ Rotate Pizza Oven
The secret to great pizza lies in high, stable heat. The Paco™ Rotate pizza oven provides exactly that, with its rotating platform ensuring even cooking without manual turning.
How to use:
- Preheat the Paco™ Rotate oven to 400–450 °C.
- Roll the dough into a thin circle or use a square shape with the Pizzaboxx® square.
- Place the dough in the Pizzaboxx® square, designed for even heat distribution and easy serving.
- Add sauce and toppings.
- Carefully place the pizza into the oven or directly insert the pan.
- Bake for 3–5 minutes. The rotating base guarantees perfect results.
Serving: Pizza Scissors and Pizza Turner
Once baked, it's time to serve your pizza with precision.
A pizza turner is essential when working with high-heat ovens. It allows you to safely transfer the hot pizza from the oven to a tray or serving surface.
Then, use pizza scissors to slice your creation cleanly and easily. Unlike a standard cutter, scissors don’t drag toppings or tear the crust. Especially useful when using a square form like the Pizzaboxx® square.
Tips for Perfect Homemade Pizza
- Use high-protein flour (12% or more) for elasticity.
- Don’t overload the dough with toppings.
- Preheat your oven at least 15–20 minutes before baking.
- Let the pizza rest 2–3 minutes before cutting.
