Turn homemade pizzas into crisp, golden favourites. PizzaExpert combines precisely controlled, even heat with a specially designed cast-iron pizza tray to deliver crisp bases and light, airy crusts in as little as 2.5 minutes ​​at 340°C​.

How to bake pizza with the PizzaExpert function

1. Place the ​​pizza tray on the wire shelf at position 4, as marked on the oven wall.
2. Select the PizzaExpert function, then follow the instructions on the display.
3. Wait for the oven to preheat. It heats to 340°C in about 25 minutes. You will hear a beep and the display will indicate when the correct temperature is reached.
4. Open the oven door and use the pizza peel to place the pizza on the cast-iron pizza tray.
5. Close the oven door and press Start.
6. Bake for 2.5 minutes. The oven will let you know when the pizza is ready.
7. For a darker crust, extend the cooking time in 15-second intervals.
8. Press Stop to end cooking, or Reheat to start reheating the tray for a second pizza. Reheating the oven to 340°C takes 2.5 minutes. Continue in the same way for each pizza.
9. Let the pizza tray cool before removing it.

Tips and tricks

• Wait until the oven is fully preheated before placing the pizza on top of the pizza tray. This helps create a crisp base and evenly baked results.
• Use the AEG app for recipes on making pizza dough and tomato sauce. It helps you create restaurant-quality flavour and get the most from PizzaExpert.
