A giant spatula that is used to move the raw pizza onto the hot stone. The stone must be preheated in the oven and the pizza constructed on the peel or counter then transferred, it is not included here but is an affordable thing to buy.

I haven't measured it, but we put 16" pizza's on it. It's a great peel but takes practice. Our first time ended up with the pizza dough exiting after the toppings did. Funny. Practice makes perfect.

I did the typical recipe and just used OO in its place. I've tried many recipes with bread flour, all purpose, mixing the two and knew I was missing that certain taste. When I used the OO, I knew that was what I was missing all along. 3 cups OO flour, 2 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp instant or rapid yeast, 1 1/3 cup water, 1 tbsp veggie oil (I use olive oil), 1 1/2 tsp table salt. Mix flour sugar yeast in bowl then water slowly until no dry flour remains. Add oil and salt. Mix until satiny ball form. Remove from bowl and knead until smooth. Place back in oiled bowl and cover with plastic and let rise. Divide in half after it has risen and make pizza for your pan. Put your sauce, cheese topping. Cook at 500 degrees and enjoy.

You have to core and slice it but you do not have peel it. I love the one I bought for my grandkids so much that I bought one for myself!

Thin object, like a knife blade on any corner, then lift up and peel back slowly. That should do it.

I bought a thin metal pizza peel from Amazon and that was key. Once the oven gets hot, it is awkward (and hot) to muck with the top; much better to slide the pizza in. I also find I need to rotate the pizza once during cooking for even cooking, and the thin metal peel makes this a piece of cake. If you make the pizza in advance, use corn meal or some other strategy to ensure the pizza can slide easily from the peel into oven unit (perhaps even freezing it a little). All that said, the Pronto works great. Recently made a wonderful pan pizza in it as well.

Another option can be found in the book "My Bread" by Jim Lahey. He also has a separate book devoted to pizza. He invented the no-knead bread process that has taken the world by storm. I can attest that if you bake a loaf of his basic bread you'll rarely buy bread in a store, or even bakery.

Make sure the stone is hot by pre heating for one hour. Lay down some corn meal or Durham flour on the stone and immediately place your rolls on top. Do not use sprays. If all else fails use parchment paper. I place a piece of parchment paper on a pizza peel and place my very thin dough on the paper. The paper allows the pizza to slide off the peel without changing shape. Also it is easy to get under the pizza to turn it half way through. Never had a sticking problem.

We buy the mix, you can find it near the jars of pizza sauce. It's easy, add warm water, let it rise, then spread it on the pan.

The cooking surface is a pizza stone. You put your pizza directly on it. The peel is wooden, but you might want to replace it with a higher quality one. The I haven't looked at or used the deep dish pan so I can't answer that.

The 72 dollar model uses wood as the base. The pro uses a composite material. As for how it works, the Amazon picture shows just one side. The other side has a full-length split in the cloth material so that it can straddle the handle. Thus, as you slide the material forward to get the pizza onto the cooking surface the split will become visible on the pizza side of the composite peel.

There are directions on the back of the box for making by hand and baking in the oven as well as bread machine directions. They seem to be simple to follow.

The stone does come with instructions and also a pizza dough recipe (which I do not use). Basically, this stone will take whatever heat you give it. But, heat it for at least 20 minutes before putting the pizza on it. I usually preheat mine on a hot gas grill which reads 550 degrees for 30 minutes. The pizza is then put on the stone and is usually cooked within 10 minutes featuring a crispy crust. I cooked all kinds of pizzas on the Dough-Joe and I have not gone out for a pizza in over a year. Yes, it's that good. P.S. Do not wash the stone.

I line the pan with parchment paper and when it is time to bake the pizza I slide the whole thing off onto a pizza stone and bake it. When it's bubbling I slide it back onto the pan and then off again to slice with a pizza cutter. (that way I don't mess up the pan and get a great pizza shape and browned crust)

The cooking directions are located on the back of the bag. They take awhile to cook, I would say longer than what it states on directions.

The directions are on the container. It is a paste so you use the sponge and rub the paste on and then rinse it off.
