Mastering the Basics: Ooni Neapolitan-Style Pizza

The first step in your wood-fired pizza journey is to perfect the classic Neapolitan-style pizza. With a soft, chewy crust and a thin, slightly charred base, it's a testament to the beauty of simple, fresh ingredients.

For the dough, mix 500g of strong bread flour with a teaspoon of salt and a packet of fast-action dried yeast. Add 325ml of warm water and bring it together in your stand mixer. Let it rest, then stretch and shape your dough balls, ready for their moment in the Ooni.

The Perfect Base: Ooni's Hot, Dry Heat

The Ooni's high, dry heat is crucial for achieving the holy grail of pizza bases - a thin, bubbly crust with a crispy, smoky edge. Preheat your Ooni to its maximum (450-500°C) and use a peel to launch your pizza onto the stone baking surface. Aim for about 60 seconds cooking time per side for that flawless Neapolitan base.

The Toppings: A Symphony of Fresh Flavours

Now that you've mastered the base, let's turn our attention to the toppings. For an authentic Margherita, use San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, salt, and basil. But don't be afraid to experiment with your favorite toppings - from Prosciutto and Funghi to merguez sausage and roasted vegetables.

Start by brushing a thin layer of olive oil onto your shaped pizza base, then add a light dusting of flour and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (or crushed tomatoes) over the surface. Sprinkle your chosen toppings and cheeses, then use your peel to slide the pizza into the Ooni. Watch as the magic happens in mere minutes!

Creative Combinations: Beyond the Traditional

Now that you've mastered the classics, it's time to get creative with unique topping combinations that make the most of your Ooni's high heat and smoky flavors.

For an exciting kick, try our Spicy Sausage and Pepperoni number: spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on your base, then add sliced spicy sausage, mince pepperoni, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. Complete with mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil before होतीdestination in the Ooni.

Smoky BBQ Chicken Pizza

Craving some American-inspired flavors? Our Smoky BBQ Chicken pizza is a winner. Start by cooking chicken slices in your Ooni until smoky and charred, then brush with BBQ sauce and set aside. On your pizza base, spread a thin layer of the same BBQ sauce, followed by the cooked chicken, red onions, and a handful of mozzarella. Once out of the Ooni, garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
