Don't bother with a starter imo. Just make the lot up the day before. In a bread recipe I'd normally use 7g yeast per 500g flour - as I leave the dough overnight though I use half as much yeast as it has much longer to do its job.

I've left it 2 days before now and it's been very tasty.

Exactly this, I used 0.2g of yeast with 380gms flour and let it prove for 18hrs. Perfect and you can freeze anything you don't want.

Do you freeze it as a ball or rolled out? I've frozen naan bread dough before but always struggle to get it out, thawed and risen at the right time.

I've frozen them as balls, it's the first time I've done it so no idea how it will turn out. I googled it and that was the suggestion so hopefully be ok.

I bought one of these from Amazon Italy works perfectly every time.

Delivered in 4 days just pay as normal don't let Amazon convert it from Euros.

I've heard about this before, think my cousin had one. How is it? how long does it take? if you wanted to have a few pizzas waiting to load in do you have to buy additional plates?

I don't bother with yeast, just plain flat bread dough, flour water olive oil and pinch of salt. The flatter and thinner the base the better IMHO.

That's similar in principle, if not identical, to the Pizza Maker I have.
Great bit of kit, when I fancy some home-made pizza.

This is the second one I made, doesn't really capture the depth of the base but it tasted superb.

V simple home made passata (San Marzano tomatoes), a little olive oil, non buffalo Mozzarella, fresh basil and olives.

Works great need to experiment a little with the settings, Takes about 5 minutes to get to temperature and then 5 minutes to perfectly cook the pizza, I have it on full temp for frozen pizza slightly less for fresh.

Stone is fixed so you would need another machine i keep mine warm in the oven.

Looks almost identical to mine, saved a bit by getting mine from Amazon Italy.
