CLEANING AND CARE
CLEANING THE PICCOLO PIZZA OVEN
Allow the oven to cool down completely.
Empty the fire box after every use and sweep out the ashes completely with a brush.
1. Both the interior and exterior can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent.
2. The chimney should be removed and washed out frequently in order to clear away
the layer of soot.
CLEANING THE PIZZA STONE
1. Remove the pizza stone from the Piccolo Pizza oven and carefully scrape off
residues from the stone with a hob scraper or a sharp knife.
2. The pizza is a utility object and over time it will get stains from burnt on ingredients.
This is completely normal and will not interfere with the functioning of the stone.
3. If you want to wash the stone with water – DO NOT USE DETERGENT. After
washing it with water, let the stone dry in an oven for at least 3 hours at 80°C. You
can also leave it to air dry in a warm area for 24 hours.
STORING PICCOLO PIZZA OVEN

stored and transported more easily with the feet folded up. If you don’t use the oven
for a long time and if you want to save space, then you can also remove the
chimney.
2. To prevent rusting and weathering, Piccolo Pizza oven should always be stored in a
dry environment after it has completely cooled down. Cover the oven with a weather
resistant tarpaulin or store it in the garage or garden house.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Please read the following information if the appliance does not work properly.
Problem
Solution
The fire blows out frequently.
Make sure that you don’t add to many
combustibles at once via the shaft. This may
smoother the fire.
The oven won’t get hot.
Strong wind can impair the heating
performance. Place the Piccolo Pizza oven
in a wind-protected location.
The fire is not burning properly.
The thermometer is broken. Replace it.
The pizza turns black on one side.
Rotate your pizza by 180° after 45 seconds.
The side, which is near the firebox, will
receive more radiant heat than the one
facing the door. To ensure even baking, turn
the pizza.

HOW TO MAKE PIZZA DOUGH
INGREDIANTS
650g / 1lb 5oz 00 flour (or strong white flour)
7g sachet easy-blend yeast
2 tsp salt
25ml /1 fl oz olive oil
50ml / 2fl oz warm milk
325ml / 11fl oz warm water
METHOD
1. Make the dough: mix the flour, yeast and salt together in a large mixing bowl and stir
in the olive oil and milk. Gradually add the water, mixing well to form a soft dough.
2. Turn the dough out on to a floured work surface and knead for about five minutes,
until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and
leave to rise for about 1½ hours, until doubled in size.
3. When the dough has risen, knock it back, then knead again until smooth, roll into a
ball and set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour until risen again.
4. Preheat the Piccolo Pizza oven to its highest setting.
5. Divide the dough into six balls and roll each out onto a lightly floured work surface
until 20cm/8in in diameter. (You can also make one big pizza.)
6. Spread a little passata (or homemade tomato sauce) over each pizza base and top
with your favourite toppings.
7. Bake the pizzas in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the bases are crisp and golden-
brown around the edges and any cheese on the topping has melted.
8. Don’t forget to turn the pizzas so they don’t burn on one edge.
