In this article we will tell you how to cook pizza in the Polaris crock-pot.

Basic Rules

Cooking pizza in the Polaris multicooker is slightly different from baking in the oven. Here is what a modern housewife needs to know during cooking:

1. Make the dough thinner. Pizza in the Polaris multicooker, like any other, turns out to be dry due to the operation of the device. To avoid this, add more water to the dough and make a thinner sauce.
2. Do not be afraid to bake pizza for a long time. In any case, if you set the correct mode, the multicooker will avoid burning and turn off at the right time.

Useful Tips

Crock-pots "Polaris" have a modern design, a huge selection of functions, so making pizza is not difficult. It is enough to choose the appropriate mode for the preparation of the test.

1. You can buy dough (or use frozen). The secret of excellent pizza is a delicious crust. If you do not want to make your own dough, then the easiest way is to buy frozen in a store. There is also a good option - make it yourself for future use and freeze it.
2. Use butter, not flour, when working with pizza. Pizza dough should be elastic and soft, easy to stretch. Adding too much flour will negatively affect its qualities.
3. Do not cook your sauce. If you make pizza fast, you can use ready-made sauce from the store. But if you prefer to cook on your own, you can get a terrific sauce if you mix canned tomatoes with a little sugar and vinegar.
4. Turn your slow cooker into an oven! Do not be afraid to use its functions at full power. Allow the device to warm for at least 20 minutes before sending pizza to cook. The hotter the oven, the better the pizza.

How to make pizza in the multicooker Polaris - recommendations

1. The Polaris multicooker bowl usually has a volume of 5 liters. So you can cook high pizza and not be afraid that it will “run away” or reach the edges of the lid.

2. The multicooker has 16 cooking modes and the "Multiple cook" mode, optionally bake pizza in the "Baking" mode. Try the "Bake" or "Pizza" mode (yes, there is one there too, we are talking about the Polaris PMC 0517AD model), each cooking method has its own peculiarities, so the taste will be different.

3. Use an anti-slip rug, as the multicooker has plastic legs and it can "ride" around the table.

4. It is optimal for the “Baking” mode to set the temperature to +120 ° , for pizza - +135 ° . Cooking time will increase, but the aroma of the finished dish will please you much more than if you cooked pizza in the oven at +200 ° C. It is important to remember that if you make pizza from a regular dough, you need to add a little water to the bottom of the multicooker - because of the point described above.

5. Heat the slow cooker in advance. Despite the fact that the program is designed to place cold contents in a bowl, it is better to heat it for proper pizza.
