Modes
SOPHISTICATED, PRECISE METHODS
By learning which mode is best for each particular
dish, you are practically guaranteed success with
any meal, from simple to spectacular.
CONVECTION
Almost anything that you would normally make in an oven will benefit from the gentle, circulating warm air of this mode. Cookies, breads, even pork tenderloin are consistently browned, no matter the rack.
BAKE
The “standard” oven mode. The right choice for single-rack cooking of more delicate items, such as quiches, custards, and cakes that require a more humid environment.
Many people think “steak” when they think of this mode, but it can be useful for many other types of food too, such as caramelizing the sugary top of a crème brûlée. Intense, radiant heat from the broil element excels at searing and browning foods one side at a time.
PROOF
There isn’t anything quite as comforting as the smell of bread baking. The first step in that baking process, proofing, requires a low, controlled heat to ensure the correct rise of your breads.
DEHYDRATE
This unique mode oers you new versatility to create your own dried fruit, meat, and herbs. The oven curates the proper drying atmosphere to make some of your favorite snacks.
MODES
CONVECTION ROAST
This high-powered roasting method produces intense and even browning results. Combining the consistent, enveloping convection heat with the power of the broil element, roasted meats and vegetables will be your new weeknight standard.
ROAST
All cuts of meat are not created equal—some are tender right from the butcher, others are not. The consistent heat produced by the top and bottom heating elements creates the ideal environment for roasting those tougher cuts long and slow, transforming the inedible into the irresistible.
STONE
Approximate the “brick oven” eect in your own home. Using the bake stone accessory, achieve the crispy, chewy crust you’ve only been able to get at your favorite pizza place—until now.
GOURMET
No guesswork here. Simply place your desired dish in the chamber, select the cooking agenda from the intuitive menu, and the oven does the rest.
WARM
A savior for mistimed meals and latecomers alike. Ensures everything is served hot, holding food at its ready-to-serve temperature.
6 7
Convection Mode
FASTER, MORE EFFICIENT COOKING OF ALMOST ANYTHING
Convection Mode is perhaps the most versatile of all modes and is an essential part
of your M series dual convection oven. It works by circulating hot air throughout
the cavity and venting out excess moisture. Two heated fans oer distinct
advantages over the usual radiant heat: they minimize hot and cool spots, enable
multi-rack cooking (no rotating of pans required), cook about twenty-five percent
CONVECTION
faster, and improve the flavor of your food with increased caramelization. Muns
are fluy and evenly browned. Chicken stays juicier underneath crackly skin.
Vegetables quickly caramelize. And cookies pu to chewy or crispy goodness.
CONVECTION MODE REVIEW
– Food cooks more evenly and quickly
– Multiple foods can be cooked on
multiple racks
– Temperature probe may be used
– Best “all-around” mode when you are
unsure of what mode to use

BEFORE YOU START
The rendering fat may produce some smoke, so turn on your hood vent while baking. Also, it may be helpful to line your broiling pan with parchment paper or foil.
PREPARATION METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F on Convection Mode with a rack on position
“3.” 2. While the oven is preheating, dry wings thoroughly with a paper towel and place in a large bowl. 3. Combine the baking powder and kosher salt together in a small bowl and sprinkle about a third of the mixture over wings. 4. Toss the wings several times to ensure an even coating.
5. Continue adding the baking powder and kosher salt mixture a third at a time, tossing the wings between each addition. 6. Check to see if the wings are evenly covered—depending on the wings’ moisture content, you may not need to use the last third of the mixture. 7. Place the wings on a broiler pan and rack lined with aluminum foil, leaving some space between them. 8. You can also use a metal cooling rack placed on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. 9. Place the wings into the oven and cook for 20 minutes. 10. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and flip the wings over. 11. Return the wings to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes. 12. Remove the wings from the oven and place in a large clean bowl. 13. Toss the wings with your favorite sauce, if desired.

Roasting nuts helps to bring out their flavor, as the oils in the nut become more pronounced. Grinding or chopping them very fine gives a better texture to your cake. Also, shredded carrots can be purchased for this recipe but make sure to chop them smaller for a finer texture in your cake.

Bake Mode
GENTLE BAKING HEAT FROM THE BOTTOM UP
This is the traditional kind of baking and cooking that you are probably familiar with.
While Bake Mode isn’t as proficient at multi-rack cooking as Convection Mode, it
delivers the proper environment to help quiches, custards, quick breads, and cakes
stay moist and bake evenly. Gentle heat from the bake element and just a touch
of browning from the broiler is the right combination. Our chefs suggest to first
use Convection Mode to quickly and uniformly preheat the oven, then bake using
BAKE
the racks in the lower half of the oven. The lower you place the food, the more the
bottom will brown. Enjoy the consistent results of this tried-and-true baking method.
BAKE MODE REVIEW
– Single-rack cooking
– Provides heat that preserves moisture
and prevents overbrowning
– Best for delicate items like custards,
quiches, and cakes
– Temperature probe may be used

This spicy cheese bread, with its soft and chewy texture, is a delicious flavor-filled pairing of two cheeses and red pepper flakes.
MAKES RACK POSITION COOK TIME
1 LOAF 3 5055 MINUTES
BAKE
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BREAD
– 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon instant yeast
– 1½ teaspoons red pepper
flakes
– 1¼ teaspoons salt
– ½ cup warm water
– 2 eggs
– 1 egg yolk
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter,
melted
– 6 ounces Monterey Jack
cheese cut into ½-inch cubes (about 1½ cups), at room temperature
– 6 ounces provolone cheese
cut into ½-inch cubes (about 1½ cups), at room temperature
FOR THE TOPPING
– 1 egg, lightly beaten
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter,
at room temperature
PREPARATION METHOD
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour,
sugar, yeast, red pepper flakes, and salt. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, eggs, egg yolk, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to flour mixture. 3. Using a dough hook, knead on medium-low speed until the dough pulls away from the bottom of the bowl, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Form the dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly greased, medium-sized bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
5. Grease a 9-inch round cake or springform pan and set aside. 6. Transfer the dough to the countertop. Roll the dough into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle with the long side parallel to the counter’s edge. 7. Sprinkle the cubed cheese evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. 8. Beginning with the edge nearest to you, roll the dough into a log. Roll the log back and forth, applying gentle pressure, until it reaches about 30 inches in length. 9. Starting at one end, coil the dough and tuck the end underneath the coil. 10. Place the coiled loaf into the greased pan and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in until doubled in size, 1½ to 2 hours. 11. Preheat the oven to 350°F on Bake Mode with a rack set on position “3.” 12. After the dough has doubled in size, brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Place the pan into the oven and bake until the loaf is golden brown, about 25 minutes. 13. After 25 minutes, form a tent with tinfoil and place it over the loaf. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes.
14. Remove the pan from the oven and onto a wire rack. Brush the loaf with the softened butter while it is still warm. Allow the bread to cool for 10-15 minutes before running a knife around the edge and turning the loaf out the wire rack. Allow the loaf to cool for an additional 30-40 minutes before serving warm.
BEFORE YOU START
Proofing bread dough is a very important step in making bread. It gives the yeast a chance to grow and provides volume and flavor to the dough. Test your yeast to ensure it is still alive and active—if the yeast does not begin to bubble or foam when mixed with water, you may need to purchase new yeast.
The bread is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F. Use the temperature probe or a digital thermometer to evaluate doneness.
Optionally, this dough can be made in advance, proofed in your refrigerator overnight (8–12 hours). If you choose to make it early, skip ahead to filling and rounding the dough by removing the dough from the refrigerator and letting it come to room temperature, then pressing it out to fill. Proceed with the recipe directions.
Using your oven’s Proof Mode, or a Wolf warming drawer, you can proof the dough at 85°F for the same amount of time.

PREPARATION METHOD
FOR THE CRUST
1. Combine flour and kosher salt together, cut
the butter into the flour by hand or with a food processor until pea size pieces form. 2. Add in the ice water and mix until a dough forms. 3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to smooth the dough. 4. Flatten into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator. 5. After an hour, roll out the dough and place in a 9-inch pie shell. 6. Trim the edges to ¼-inch from the pie pan, roll under and press down around the edge of the pie pan. 7. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. 8. While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 400°F on Bake Mode with a rack set on position “3.” 9. After 30 minutes, line the unbaked pie crust with parchment and weight it down with something so that the bottom doesn’t pu and the sides don’t slouch. You can find special pie weights for this job, but you can also use dry beans (about 2 cups). 10. Blind bake the crust for 25 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before filling.
FOR THE FILLING
BAKE
BEFORE YOU START
Blind baking, or baking a pie crust without the filling, helps to ensure the end product is crisp and flaky.
Cook and cool the onions completely, before adding to the filling. This helps to remove the extra water from the onions that would otherwise negatively affect the consistency of your filling.
1. Reduce the heat of the oven to 350°F on Bake Mode with rack still set on position “3.”
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth. 3. Add in the kosher salt, pepper, and herbs and mix to combine.
4. In even layers add the onions, cheese, and ham to the bottom of the precooked pie shell. 5. Carefully pour the custard over the filling. Bake the quiche for 40–45 minutes, or until the quiche is set.
6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

BEFORE YOU START
The key to starting a pot roast off the right way is a good sear on all sides. This can be achieved right in the stovetop-safe roasting pan (if one is being used), large skillet, or sauté pan.
Remove racks above position “3” for proper clearance of the roasting pan.
PREPARATION METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F on Roast Mode
with a rack set on position “3.” 2. Season the roast on all sides with kosher salt, place on a large plate or platter and allow to rest on the counter for 30 minutes. 3. Add the olive oil to a stovetop safe roasting pan and over high heat, sear the roast until evenly browned, about 3 minutes per side. 4. Remove the roast from the pan onto a plate. 5. Turn the heat down to medium and add 2 cups of beef stock to the pan and deglaze, scraping up the bits stuck to the bottom. A flat edged wooden spoon works best. 6. Add the herbs, garlic, and freshly ground black pepper to the pan and stir to combine.
7. Place the roast back into the pan and roast in the oven, uncovered, for 1 hour. 8. After 1 hour, flip the roast over, cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and roast for one additional hour.
9. After the second hour, temporarily remove the roast to a plate. 10. Add the vegetables and potatoes to roasting pan. 11. Nestle the roast into vegetables. 12. Pour the remaining ½ cup of stock over roast. 13. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil, return the pan to the oven and roast for 45 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are easily pierced by a fork. 14. After the potatoes and vegetables are cooked through, remove the roast from the oven and place on a platter. 15. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before carving. 16. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and place in a dish. 17. Serve with au jus from the pan.

Tu rn heat down to medium-low, add in the onions and garlic and cook until soft and translucent. 10. Add the celery and continue to cook until the celery is soft.
11. Add in the carrots and cook until the carrots are fork tender. If needed, add in ¼ cup of the chicken stock and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender. 12. Deglaze the pan of vegetables by adding the brandy, red wine, and then chicken stock. This will help to release all of the flavor built up on the bottom of the pan. 13. Add the chicken back to the pan, arranging in one layer over the vegetables and cooking liquid. 14. Place a lid on the pan and place in the oven. Braise covered, for 30 minutes. 15. Check to make sure the internal temperature of the chicken re aches 165° F. 16. If needed, continue to cook until the temperature is reached. 17. Mix together the butter and flour with your fingers to a crumbly consistency.
18. After 30 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and return it to the stove top. 19. Bring the pan to a simmer. 20. In a small bowl combine 1 cup of the braising liquid and the butter/flour mixture. 21. Whisk together until smooth. 22. Pour the contents back into the roasting pan and gently stir. 23. Simmer for another 10–15 minutes until the mixture thickens and serve.

Broil Mode
THE SECRET TO SEARING, TOASTING, AND BROWNING
The intense, radiant heat produced by the broiler can create an entire dish
from beginning to end—as with thin steaks, chops, or fish—or add the finishing,
browning touch to more delicate items like pie meringue. It is also a great
alternative to grilling outdoors. Three temperature settings oer you a world of
possibility. Proceed with a dash of caution, though. Food under the broiler can
finish cooking in a matter of minutes, so it is best to keep a close eye on your
BROIL
culinary creations.
BROIL MODE REVIEW
– Best for single-rack cooking
– Intense radiant heat for searing and
browning steaks, fish, poultry
– Also handy for toasting baked goods

Proof Mode
FOR LOAVES YOU WILL LOVE
One of the secrets to a good bake is a good proof. Whether you make bread every
day or as a treat for special occasions, this mode will help you prepare buoyant,
beautifully raised breads. While professional bakers utilize proof boxes to stimulate
the correct environment for yeast activity, your M series oven is engineered with
similar technology to achieve the same fluy results. Proof Mode should typically
be used for the second or final proof, after the bread has already gained much of its
PROOF
volume and flavor in an initial proofing or fermentation (often referred to as the “bulk
proof”). A low, gentle heat between 85°F and 110°F allows bread to rise more rapidly
than it would at room temperature, especially during colder seasons.
PROOF MODE REVIEW
– Proof on a single rack for best results
– Gentle heat provides the ideal
environment for proofing bread
– Covering dough with a damp cloth is
recommended
– Expedites the second proofing

Dehydrate Mode
A NEW TAKE ON FRUITS AND MEATS
Delicious, nutritious snacks are something we all look for these days. But the ones
at the store—even the “healthy foods” stores—may be both expensive and loaded
with extra sugar and preservatives. Many of our Wolf owners are discovering the
pleasures of making their own dried fruit or meat snacks using Dehydrate Mode.
Circulating heat from the convection fans warms the oven up to between 110°F
and 160°F, providing the proper drying atmosphere. Just cut up the food you would
DEHYDRATE
like to dry—apples and pears, flank steak for beef jerky, fresh herbs—and lay it over
the dehydration racks in the oven. It usually takes about 10 hours to dry fruit and 4 to
15 hours for meat, depending on thickness. As some foods require more time to fully
dehydrate, the Dehydrate Mode overrides the 12-hour shut-o safety feature.
DEHYDRATE MODE REVIEW
– Dehydrate on single or multiple racks
– Gentle heat from convection fans
– Perfect for drying fruits, vegetables,
herbs, and meats
– Dehydrate kit recommended (available
for purchase from your dealer)
– Estimate 10 hours to dry fruit and 4 to
15 hours for meat

Stone Mode
SATURATING HEAT FOR A “BRICK OVEN” EFFECT
For authentic pizza made like those in Italy by pizzaiolos—pizza bakers—you need
an extremely hot oven and cooking surface that mimics a wood-fired brick oven
environment. This mode uses heat from the bottom bake element and the top broil
element combined with the circulating air of the fans to create intense, saturating heat
up to 550°F. Using Stone Mode along with the bake stone kit, you can achieve crispy
bottom crusts for almost all types of pizzas, artisan breads, calzones, and flatbreads. But
STONE
it is meant for breads only—avoid placing meat, fish, vegetables, or other food items on
the bake stone or it will produce unwanted odors, tastes, and smoke. To prevent dough
from sticking, dust the stone and pizza peel with cornmeal or flour—never use oil as it
will gum up the stone. Preheat the stone with the oven, placing it on the very bottom
rack and removing all others. After baking, leave the stone in the oven to cool.
STONE MODE REVIEW
– Cook on a single rack only
– Creates an intense “brick oven” eect
– Ideal for pizza, artisan breads, and
calzones
– Requires the bake stone kit (available
for purchase from your dealer)

TO PREPARE THE DOUGH
1. Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a stand
mixer fitted with a dough hook. 2. Mix the dough on low speed for 7 minutes. 3. Stop and cover the mixing bowl with a clean dish towel or plastic wrap and allow to stand for 10 minutes. 4. Remove the cover on the mixing bowl and continue kneading on low speed for 7 more minutes. 5. Place the dough in a greased container. 6. Cover and refrigerate for 2 days.
TO PREPARE THE PIZZA
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F on Stone Mode
with the bake stone and rack set on position “1.”
2. While the oven is preheating, portion the dough into 2 equal pieces. The second piece of dough can be rolled out or frozen for later use if desired.
3. Gently roll the dough into a ball, cover and allow to come to room temperature. 4. Dust the countertop with flour. 5. Roll the pizza dough until just under ¼-inch thick. 6. Dust the top of the rolled out dough and the pizza peel with flour.
7. Flip the pizza dough over and place the floured surface of the pizza dough onto the floured peel. This will make sliding the pizza into the oven much easier. 8. Add your favorite pizza sauce and toppings. As the cheese melts it will spread out— be sure to leave enough open space and don’t overcrowd the toppings. 9. Transfer the pizza to the oven and slide the pizza onto the center of the preheated bake stone. 10. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the pizza has reached the desired browning.
BEFORE YOU START
You will need the bake stone kit for this recipe. When storing the rising pizza dough, choose a container large enough to accommodate the dough doubled in size. Allow two to three days for the rise and to develop the depth of flavor that gives this pizza dough its unique character.

Cook the surface of meat at high temperature until it browns.
TEMPERATURE PROBE
A small, pointed rod, attached to a cord—in this case, that measures the internal temperature of the food into which it is inserted and the other end into the oven's sensor to alert you when your dish has reached the desired temperature.
TEMPERATURE PROBE RECEPTACLE
The slot into which the temperature probe is inserted—it will click into place. The probe must be fully seated in the receptacle before you adjust the probe temperature setting.
CONVECTION MODE
The go-to mode for multi-rack cooking. Heat comes entirely from two rear convection fans.
ROAST MODE
For ultimate tenderness, with most heat from top broil and some from the bottom bake element.
BAKE MODE
Best for traditional baking, with almost all the heat radiating up from the bottom element.
BROIL MODE
Sear steaks, chops, and fish with intense, radiant heat from the top broil element.
CONVECTION ROAST MODE
A faster, more flavorful way to roast, with most of the heat from two rear convection fans.
PROOF MODE
Bread rises beautifully with low, controlled heat from the bake element.
CONVECTION OVEN
An oven that heats food through the circulation of hot air by a fan or fans.
MULTI-RACK COOKING
Cooking on more than one rack at the same time—something a dual convection oven does more eciently than a non-convection oven.
DEHYDRATE MODE
Low, drying heat from the convection fans for fruit snacks, jerky, and herbs.
STONE MODE
Create a “brick oven eect” for pizza with intense 550°F heat from the bake and broil elements.
WARM MODE
Keep dinner warm with gentle heat of 140°F to 200°F from the bake element.
