So in this short guide, we'll show you not one ooni pizza recipe but four. Plus we'll even show you how to make pizza dough(gluten-free and not) and homemade pizza sauce.

How We Choose the Best Ooni Pizza Oven Recipes

We first became familiar with the yumminess of wood fired pizzas about 5 years ago.  Some ingenious farming cousins built their own wood fired pizza oven and took their recipes and pizza pies on the road, selling them from local markets and events.   They were amazing!  What a treat. All fresh local ingredients with the perfectly baked pizza crust.    While we don't have their 'original' secret recipe, we have researched and tried several backyard pizzas with neighbors to come up with some great recipes we are happy to share.

Ooni Pizza Dough

To make a pizza, you'll need to create the pizza dough ball first. To start this pizza-making journey,  you'll ideally want to have an Ooni pizza oven and the following Ooni Accessories at hand:

• Ooni Dual Platform Digital Scales
• Stand mixer with dough hook (optional)
• Ooni Infrared Thermometer
• Ooni Pizza Peel
• Ooni Pizza Cutter Wheel

See more Ooni Pizza Accessories and Tools here on Amazon!

Ingredients

And then you'll want the following ingredients:

1. 368 grams (approx. 3 cups) of lukewarm water
2. 18 grams (3 tsp) salt
3. 3.5 grams (1 tsp) active dry yeast, or 2.6 grams (~ 3/4 tsp) instant dried yeast
4. 613 grams (approx. 4  7/8 cups) “00” flour, plus extra for dusting

Tip: Prepare your pizza dough ahead of time.

Instructions

To make the classic Ooni pizza dough, start by weighing out the ingredients using the Ooni Dual Platform Digital Scales. Mix the water, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl, and gradually add in the flour to form a shaggy dough.

Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook, then let it rise for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size. Next, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, shape them into balls, and let them rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat the Ooni Pizza Oven to 932°F (500°C) using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer, then stretch each dough ball into a 12-inch (30cm) circle on a lightly floured surface before transferring it onto the Ooni Pizza Peel and top with sauce and toppings before sliding it into the hot oven.

Ooni Gluten-Free Pizza Dough

You're avoiding gluten, no problem.

Here's a simple way to create a gluten-free pizza dough.  Change out the recipe by adding simple gluten-free ingredients as sauces and/or toppings.

The ingredients you need include a gluten-free flour blend (we like the Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix), yeast, water, olive oil, and salt. First, mix the flour, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add in the water and olive oil and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Then, let it rest for about 30 minutes.

After the dough has rested, you can shape it into a pizza base using a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough onto an Ooni Pizza Peel, dusted with gluten free cornmeal, and add your desired toppings. Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven to 932°F (500°C) using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer to check the temperature. Slide the pizza onto the pizza stone and bake for around 60-90 seconds, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Ooni Pizza Tomato Sauce

What's the ideal pizza sauce? Everyone has their say. To each his own, but we love the good old tomato sauce!

Ingredients

You'll need a saucepan, 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil (this is our fav, it's a best seller on Amazon!), 2 garlic cloves, 800g of canned whole plum tomatoes,  2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, fresh basil leaves, and ground black pepper.

Instructions

Making the Onni Classic Pizza Sauce is easy. To begin, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook until fragrant. Then crush the canned whole plum tomatoes and add them to the saucepan, followed by the heaped teaspoons of sugar and the teaspoon of salt. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 20-30 minutes until it thickens, stirring occasionally.

Add the roughly chopped basil leaves and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to the saucepan, and stir to combine. You can blend the sauce for a smoother texture or use as it as a topping for your pizza, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Ooni Pizza Recipes

Here are some of the trending Ooni pizza recipes you could try making at home with your gas-powered pizza oven. Using a wood/charcoal/pellet-powered ooni oven will also deliver outstanding results.
