⚠️⚠️WARNING ⚠️⚠️ This method is perfect IF you have the same version of Ninja Speedi that James has. If, like me, you don’t have the same version, the Speedi will not move from the ‘Pre Heat’ stage of this recipe. In extreme circumstances this could cause a fire. At the very least it will burn your pizza base before the top has even started cooking. This is no fault of James. He’s using his Speedi in good faith that all Speedi's are equal. As you may see from other comments on this method, the Speedi for some users is not moving from Pre Heat. The way to work around this is to follow James’s instructions up until the ‘30 seconds pre heat’. Leave it to pre heat for about 4 to 6 mins to crisp the base, then switch the Speedi to ‘Bake and roast’ which is on the air fryer side of the menu(UK version). Then cook on 200c for about 8 ro 10 mins. It’ll be near perfect. Keep checking it. Ninja must have versions out there that do not allow what James is suggesting. I hope this helps and clears up some of the confusion.
Thanks for this I swear I did this before and it worked fine but this lasted 10 min on preheat and never went to bake so I cut over to Bake 375 and in a few min it was done because it was already so fluffed up by the steam
I just subscribed to your channel the other day. Man I love your recipes! i have many nija products however i want and need a speedi!! Your recipes have sold me on this machine ! Thank You!!!
Speaking as an Italian….if you are using plain marinara sauce, maybe sprinkle some grated cheese (parmesan or whatever you like) on top of the sauce before adding the mozzarella.
Thanks, I just got my Speedi and used it tonight. I made Scallops with Fettuccini Broccoli Alfredo. The scallops didn’t brown as I had to remove them, not to overcook. I have the Ninja Foodi, just wondering if the Speedi is worth it, since things cook at different times even though it’s in one unit. I doubt I’d make pizza in this. It’s easier and bigger in my Toaster Oven.
Steam and bake would not get off of Pre heat. I followed your exactly. I even watched the video 3 times as I fixed it. The bottom almost birned. I finally had to turn on air fry to finish the top. Any ideas????
I made this last night. I have 2 comments. The preheat took very, very long, not the time mentioned. I do believe it should not be done on a steam function. Also, 375F is too high and results in it being burnt, like yours. I used 350F and the bottom crust was golden.
better use Steam and Bake preheat for 5 to 10 min dont wait untill it finished then use the airfry mode for 5 min or more at 350 both you will get it much better
I tried this, I will make it again sometimes, modified, add green peppers, onion,, less pepperoni, some kind of other meat, cooked less time with higher heat.
James, have you ever cooked frozen French bread pizzas in the Speedi? I can’t find anything regarding settings and times. I used an air fry recipe but the bottom was soft. Please help!! 😂
I have not. What I would try….use steam and crisp function. Put 1 tbsp of water in the bottom. Put pizza on bottom rack at 400 for however many minutes it takes
Hi James , my new Speedi would never get to the countdown. Have you ever experienced this? I ended up after about 30 minutes shutting it off and switching to bake/roast.
I will give it a try with just water. I have steam baked a cake and it took about 20 minutes to build up enough steam to get going , that was with 2 cups of water in the bottom.
Mine was doing this too. After 6 minutes I tested and it was onle 195. I called Ninja. Had to jump throgh some hoops and be forceful but they are sending me a new unit.....
I tested the it with a cup of water and it only took about 8 minutes. But the pizza I let it go for over 30 minutes and it still wasn’t to the cook stage. I hate to go through the hassle of sending it back…ughhh
Then only problem with this is that it’s cheaper to buy a ready made pizza than to buy all the individual Ingredients. And you can only cook One pizza at a time. So if you are feeding five people With a pizza each, that’s an expensive meal. This looks fantastic though and well done for sharing. X

Thanks for this, had a suspicion something was up and checked the comments.
Hi James!! My Speedi will arrive on Tuesday, can't wait to give it a try! Keep the Speedi recipes coming, you do a great job! Take care!
Looks delicious. I’m enjoying your Speedi videos. Wish I had some pizza. 🤪Thanks
That looks amazing. I’m trying it this week. Thank you!
I made the pizza, one with bbq chicken & bacon, it was delish, the 2nd was with pepperoni & italia sausage, very good, thank you for sharing with us.
James, you ROCK!!! I love all your Speedi recipes. I will be using all of them with my new Speedi!!
Awesome thanks so much for sharing!
Another perfect cook James. That really looks good.
Fixing this now, however it took longer than the 30 secs to come to pre-heat
Awesome idea James! Need to try this also, this Speedi is amazing and fun, keep your ideas coming, really enjoy your videos. Cheers 🍻
Looks awesome. I just received my speedy so that’ll definitely be on my list
How easy was it to get out without spilling all the toppings?
Thank you for this video! So many possibilities.. Looks amazing! I love your enthusiasm when you are cooking!
Much appreciated! Thanks
Oh wow, looks really good
Thanks 😊
Looks great! Can’t wait to try it. Will make my own dough.
That pizza looks amazing. I just made a baked lasagna in the speedi. Omg came out amazing and so delicious. I will make your pizza. I can’t wait
Looks amazing im trying this tomorrow.
Awesome 👌
Looks great!
Another great recipe, pizza is always tastes good up here in Preskitt. Thanks for the video.
You got it. Thanks so much for watching
This looks so good! I can hardly wait to order mine next month. Love your recipes!
Un gros merci ! Quelle différence entre steam bake et bake/roast, pour la cuisson de la pizza ? 😊
I just subscribed to your channel the other day. Man I love your recipes! i have many nija products however i want and need a speedi!! Your recipes have sold me on this machine ! Thank You!!!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoy it. Happy new year
I will try this it looks good

Agreed
Hi Just wondering what kind of pans can be used in the Speedi to bake with?
If it works in regular oven it works in speedi
Hi James, just wondering why you set the unit for 15 min. when it seemed to only take 8 min. or so. Thanks!
Just so i wouldnt have to add time if needed
Pizza looks great. How do you use steam and bake function without water?
Thanks. It just heats from the bottom that's why I used it
The manual tells you not to use it without water in the pot on that setting too
@@elizabethshakespeare5347 maybe the bake function on the other side would work since no steam is required.
@@Rob_430 thank you 🙂
dam james . looks great.. i need to use my air fryer more... i miss them Sunday morning chats before the raider games lol
James you mentioned to put pizza on steam and bake. What gonna steam if no water is added?
Thanks
Some people say it don't work for them. Use steam and crisp. U want to use it because it turns the bottom element on
Wonder if bottom crust would be less brown but still crisp if you used the crisper tray in the bottom.
Maybe
Hey James😃Your pizza looks really delicious😋A "BIG"👍🏻Cheers Everybody🤣😆🍺ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻

How do you make thick crust
how long to preheat..mine has been going for over 10 min and still not cooking
Mine was about 5 minutes. But just let it go until it starts counting down
took over 20 minutes but finally got it cooked..yummy @@CookinWithJames
Awesome. Not sure why it took so long though
Hi james. So you can use the steam and bake without adding water?
Yes
How do you use the Steam and Bake with no water in the unit?
It gets the bottom hot. But I would use steam and crisp instead
The preheat takes forever on that function. I believe it’s not a good function, since it’s maybe looking for water to make steam, I don’t know.
Steam and bake would not get off of Pre heat. I followed your exactly. I even watched the video 3 times as I fixed it. The bottom almost birned. I finally had to turn on air fry to finish the top. Any ideas????
Do a test. Put a cup of water in the bottom and turn on the function. It should start counting down after 15-18 minutes
I had the same problem. It never would preheat.
Same here, never got off pre heat on steam and bake
Not sure why
The same with mine, preheat took forever. I don’t think it’s a correct function. It’s throwing the cycle off with no water.
I made this last night. I have 2 comments. The preheat took very, very long, not the time mentioned. I do believe it should not be done on a steam function. Also, 375F is too high and results in it being burnt, like yours. I used 350F and the bottom crust was golden.

I tried this, I will make it again sometimes, modified, add green peppers, onion,, less pepperoni, some kind of other meat, cooked less time with higher heat.
30 sec. To warm up ? Mine took 20 min.. 🤔

I have not. What I would try….use steam and crisp function. Put 1 tbsp of water in the bottom. Put pizza on bottom rack at 400 for however many minutes it takes
@@CookinWithJames Thanks! I will try that next time! I’m new to the Speedi. Somewhat of a learning curve. 🤣
Hi James , my new Speedi would never get to the countdown. Have you ever experienced this? I ended up after about 30 minutes shutting it off and switching to bake/roast.
I have never experienced that. Did you try it with only water to see if it works right
I will give it a try with just water. I have steam baked a cake and it took about 20 minutes to build up enough steam to get going , that was with 2 cups of water in the bottom.
Mine was doing this too. After 6 minutes I tested and it was onle 195. I called Ninja. Had to jump throgh some hoops and be forceful but they are sending me a new unit.....

That's weird. Try it with nothing. Hopefully nothing is wrong
Thanks :P
Please explain how you removed the pizza from the pan. You skipped showing it in the video, but that seems to me an important step. Thank you.
I just used a spatula
Could you put the cheese under the cheese
You can do anything you want. That should work
Calzones??
Heck ya. Good idea. Love calzones
lol @ dont be scared when it pops
@@garyrendano4717 😆
Then only problem with this is that it’s cheaper to buy a ready made pizza than to buy all the individual
Ingredients. And you can only cook
One pizza at a time. So if you are feeding five people
With a pizza each, that’s an expensive meal.
This looks fantastic though and well done for sharing. X
Thanks so much!
Bottom of my pizza didn’t brown
Hmm. Not sure why
Bottom is too brown! A bit burned.
I make pizza professionally. Some customers do prefer dark (burned) crusts.
less than $5? D: cheese in this economy alone is costly.
If you listened to what i said.....you can make several pizzas for less than $5. Do the math
How are you going to say that you do something with the extra but then not show us....lol
Give me specifics.
@@CookinWithJames with the leftover dough that you cut off or did I miss it
Lol. I just made some cheese biscuits
@@CookinWithJames oh OK. Ty....lol
