Classic Pizza Dough

Classic Pizza Dough

Flour, salt, water and yeast: What do these simple ingredients have in common?

The beauty of making your own dough is the delicious texture and flavour, coveted puffy crust, a soft, easy-to-fold slice and, of course, the fragrant, freshly-baked-bread aroma.

From there, we recommend starting with our Classic Pizza Sauce, and if you’re not sure where to start for toppings, we’ve got hundreds of pizza recipes to get you inspired.

Note: Exciting news!

  • 364 grams (1 ½ cups or 12.8 ounces) lukewarm water
  • 9.2 grams (3 ¼ teaspoons) active dried yeast or 7 grams (2 ½ teaspoons) instant dried yeast or 20 grams (2 tablespoons) fresh yeast 
  • 607 grams (4 ¼ cups or 21.4 ounces) “00” flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 18 grams (4 teaspoons) sea salt

If you prefer fresh yeast, use 20 grams (2 tablespoons) and either mix the yeast into the water and let sit for 3 minutes (rehydration method) or crumble it over the flour and then add the water (dry blend).

Classic Pizza Sauce

Classic Pizza Sauce

“Juicy and sweet tomatoes with a hint of garlic, salt and basil make this the ideal pizza sauce for enhancing the flavour of your Classic Pizza Dough base,” says Ooni CEO Kristian Tapaninaho.

Taken from our cookbook, “Ooni: Cooking with Fire,” and made on a hob in less than 30 minutes, this recipe is sure to become your go-to pizza base.

The secret in this classic pizza sauce recipe is choosing high-quality tomatoes that will make a noticeable difference to the flavour.

Add fragrant garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, sugar and a dash of salt and pepper and you’ve got a sauce that would make any nonna proud.

Sourdough Pizza Dough - Artisan Bryan

From Starter to Finish: Sourdough Pizza Dough

The secret behind great sourdough?

If you’re not familiar with the process or don’t think you’ve got the skills to proof and feed a starter, don’t worry.

A little effort here goes a long way, leading to a greater depth of flavour, aroma and strength for your dough.

Bryan’s first slice of advice?

For feeding, add equal parts flour (the same flour your starter used; in this recipe’s case, a combination of “00” and whole grain) and water to the starter and mix until fully blended.

If you need to leave your starter at home for a while, or can’t feed it for a period of time, seal it and place it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (the cold temperature will cause the starter to go dormant, so it doesn’t need to be fed).
