TIPS FOR YOUR PRECISION PROCESSOR
LOADING TIPS
Don’t overfill the bowl or ingredients may not break down evenly. If the ingredients exceed the max fill line, take some out.
SO MUCH MORE
THAN MEAL PREP.
With Precision Processing, you’re not just breaking ingredients down into smaller pieces.
You’re bringing them together in ways you hadn’t thought of before. From classic hummus
to chicken pot pie, big mealtime inspiration can come from a relatively small place.
When loading the bowl, make sure ingredients do not go past
the max fill line.

Add liquid on top, as the last ingredient.
Place heavier ingredients, like chicken and root vegetables, on top of the greens and lettuces.
Place herbs, lettuces, and greens in the bowl first so they are at the bottom.
Cut all ingredients to 1 inch or as designated in each recipe.
Peel bell peppers with a vegetable peeler prior to cutting for best performance.

DIRECTIONS
1 To make the dough, combine the yeast,
sugar, and warm water in a small bowl and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2 Position the Dough Blade in the
64-ounce Precision Processor, then add the flour, salt, olive oil, and yeast mixture.
3 Select DOUGH for 30 seconds, or until
a dough ball forms.
4 Place dough ball in a lightly oiled bowl
and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until dough ball doubles in size.
5 Once dough has risen, preheat oven
to 400°F.
6 Cut dough ball in half. Roll out one half
into a 10-inch disc and place on a lightly oiled pan. Repeat with other half.
7 Top each rolled-out dough with 1/4 cup
pizza sauce, spreading it out in a thin and even layer. Sprinkle each with mozzarella and then top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
8 Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust
is golden brown and cooked through. Garnish with fresh basil.
