Woodfired Pizza Base
What it is
This is a pre-made pizza base that has been cooked in a woodfired oven. It is designed to provide a rustic, slightly smoky flavor and a characteristic texture. The base is typically thin and crispy, offering a good foundation for various toppings. It comes ready to be dressed and baked, making homemade pizza preparation more convenient. The cooking process in a woodfired oven imparts a unique char and aroma.
How people cook with it
This pizza base is perfect for quick and easy homemade pizzas. It serves as a convenient starting point for any pizza creation.

- Family pizza nights

To use, simply remove the pizza base from its packaging. Spread your desired sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust. Add your favorite cheese and toppings. Place the prepared pizza on a baking sheet or directly onto the oven rack. Bake in a preheated oven according to package directions, typically until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The woodfired aspect means it cooks quickly and develops a lovely crispness.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard pizza bases, this woodfired version offers a more authentic, artisanal taste and texture. The high heat of a woodfired oven creates a slightly blistered crust with a distinct smoky undertone that is difficult to replicate in a conventional home oven. It often has a chewier crust with a crisp exterior.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused pizza bases in their original packaging in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept cool and sealed to maintain freshness. It is best to use them within the recommended 'use by' date. Once opened, consume within a few days.
