Method

Note

While you can use this dough recipe in any one of our Ooni ovens, the cooking instructions below are specific to our Ooni Pizza Steel 13.

  1. Add the water, olive oil and yeast to your stand mixer's bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt, then add to the stand mixer bowl. Turn to the lowest speed and mix until the dough is formed about 4 minutes. 

  2. If mixing by hand, stir ingredients with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to form. Continue mixing by hand until the pizza dough comes together in a ball.

  3. Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead with both hands for about 10 minutes — it should be firm and stretchy. Return the dough to the bowl.

  4. Remove the dough and place it in a large bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 1 hour. After 1 hour, lightly wet your hands and gently pull the dough from the edges over the centre of the dough. Repeat with the remaining corners, then cover and let rest for 1 hour. Repeat this process two more times.

  5. After the third fold and rest, place your dough on a lightly floured counter, then use a dough scraper to divide and form into four 9.5-ounce (250-gram) dough balls.

  7. Place the dough balls in a dough box or cover them with a towel on a sheet tray and let them rest in the refrigerator overnight.

  8. Take your dough balls out of the refrigerator 3 hours before cooking.

  9. Place your Ooni Pizza Steel 13 in your conventional oven then preheat to 275°C (530°F) (or its highest temperature). Pre-heat the Steel for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.

  10. Mix together crushed tomatoes, fine sea salt and oregano in a bowl.

  11. Place one dough ball on your lightly floured work surface and begin pushing the air from the center out to the edge with your fingers. Stretch the dough into a 12-inch (30cm) base and lay it on your countertop or your lightly floured pizza peel.

  12. Top each pizza with ½ cup (80 grams) of tomatoes, 1 ¼ cup (100 grams) mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons (10 grams) of Parmesan.

  14. Cook the pizza for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Take out of the oven, then slice, serve and enjoy. Repeat the process with the remaining 3 dough balls.
