measuring spoons
liquid measuring cup
2⅓ cups bread flour
¾ cup water
1 teaspoon salt
Add the yeast
When the yeast is bubbly and active, add it to stand mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until all the flour is hydrated. Increase speed to medium and mix the dough 6 minutes.
Prepare the dough to proof
Add the oil to a large bowl. Tilt the bowl to generously coat the sides and bottom with oil. Scrape the dough into the bowl and cover with a plastic wrap or a kitchen towel.
1 tablespoon canola oil
large bowl
plastic wrap
Proof the dough
Transfer the bowl to the bottom shelf of the June Oven. Proof the dough at 80°F for 1 hour 30 minutes, until about doubled in size. June will notify you when the dough is finished. If the dough has not doubled, follow on-screen instructions to continue proofing.
Punch down the dough
Punch down the dough and knead a few times in the bowl by stretching it gently and folding it over on itself. Cover the bowl again and let the dough rest about 10 more minutes to relax it.
Transfer the dough
Drizzle the rectangular baking pan with the oil, then tilt to completely coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Place the dough in the oiled pan and gently stretch it to the edges, completely covering the bottom of the pan. If the dough springs back, cover it and let it rest for a few more minutes before trying again.
2 tablespoons canola oil
rectangular baking pan
Prepare the dough to proof
Cover with plastic wrap. If preparing in advance, let it chill in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.
Proof the dough
Transfer the pan to the middle shelf of the June Oven. Proof the dough at 80°F for 30 minutes, until about doubled in size. June will notify you when the dough is finished. If the dough has not doubled, follow on-screen instructions to continue proofing. Note, if the dough is chilled, additional proofing time may be required.
Remove the dough from the June Oven
Remove the dough from the June Oven and set aside.
Preheat the June Oven
With the shelf in the middle position, preheat the June Oven to 500°F on the Bake cook mode using the button below.
Fill the pan and add toppings
Gently press the dough down with your fingers to release some larger air bubbles. Top the dough with an even layer of pepperoni, if using, followed by the cubed jack and mozzarella, making sure to spread the toppings to the edges of the pan.
3 ounces pepperoni slices
6 ounces diced jack cheese
6 ounces diced mozzarella
Add the sauce
Dollop the sauce over the surface of the pizza or spread it into three lengthwise rows. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the rows of sauce.
¾ cup marinara sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Bake the pizza
Transfer the pan to the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake the pizza 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and edges are dark. June will notify you when the pizza is ready. If desired, follow on-screen instructions to continue cooking.
Cool and transfer the pizza
Remove the pizza from the June Oven and let it cool 5 minutes in the pan. With a flip spatula or knife, loosen the edges of the pizza from the June Pan. Slide a flip spatula under the pizza and carefully transfer it to a chopping board.
