INSTRUCTIONS:

Pizza Dough:

1. Our pizza adventure begins with the heart of our pies – the pizza dough. Let’s activate the magic by adding yeast to warm water, mixing well, and letting it stand for a few minutes until bubbles dance on the surface.
2. In a large mixing bowl, create a haven for our flour and salt. Make a well in the center, pouring in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Using your hands, work your culinary artistry and bring the dough together into a smooth, unified ball.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it to perfection for a few minutes.
5. Place this dough masterpiece in a bowl, lightly oiled and covered with cling wrap. Allow it to rise in a cozy corner for 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
6. Once our dough has risen to the occasion, gently knead it on a floured surface for 5 minutes until it reaches a state of doughy perfection.
7. Now, it’s time to roll out the canvas for our pizzas. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a thickness of 5mm. Using the lid cutter of your pie maker, create 12 tantalizing rounds.
8. Grease the pie holes in your pie maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preheat it for the culinary adventure that awaits.

Prosciutto and Black Olive Pie Maker Pizza:

1. Take one dough round and place it into each pie hole. Top it off with two teaspoons of pizza sauce, a generous sprinkle of Perfect Pizza cheese, and a touch of art with torn prosciutto and sliced black olives.
2. Close the lid of your pie maker and let the magic happen. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the pizza base is gloriously cooked and the cheese on top is a golden masterpiece. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and toppings, and let your kitchen be filled with the aromas of a pizzeria.
3. The moment of delight has arrived. Serve these Prosciutto and Black Olive Pie Maker Pizzas while they’re warm, and let your taste buds dance to the symphony of flavors.

Hawaiian Pie Maker Pizza:

1. Just like with the Prosciutto and Black Olive version, start by placing one dough round into each pie hole. Add two teaspoons of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of Perfect Pizza cheese, and let the culinary journey continue with diced ham and diced pineapple.
2. Close the lid of your pie maker and let the enchantment unfold. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the pizza base is cooked and the cheese is a mesmerizing shade of golden.
3. The final touch of your Hawaiian Pie Maker Pizza is the moment of pure joy. Serve these warm and inviting pizzas to your eagerly awaiting guests or family members.

TIP:

• These delightful pie maker pizzas are perfect for filling up lunch boxes with scrumptious surprises. Once cooked, cool them down, wrap them individually, and you’re ready to pack a slice of pizza paradise into any lunch.
• Freezer Tip: Have extra pizza dough? Flatten it into a disc, wrap it in cling film, and place it in a sealed container. Label it and freeze it for up to two months. When you’re ready for more pizza magic, defrost the dough in the refrigerator overnight, and let your culinary adventure continue.
