Pizza

Can't be wrong.

Sounds a lot like @BRM...

Fair

Ooof.

Polish shop round the corner sells amazing live yeast. 100g for 39p, it took Saturday night pizza making to the next level yesterday.

Just a regular oven but plenty good enough for my middling standards.

That looks delicious...

No images to share as nothing lasted long enough. @scherrit and the Bike Whisperer clan staying with us this weekend. Last night was pizza time. Strangely the ooni has never got so hot, this was despite drizzle and 20mph winds. Turns out the breeze helped the wood burn hotter.

Dough had over 30 hours proving in the larder. even over the 3 hours of cooking (we had 4 pizzas before baby whisperer went to bed and 3 after) the dough kept evolving and was more relaxed and stretched further for the last couple. Made for the lightest airiesr crust to date. Only problem was the super high heat in the over meant some crusts were a little scorched at the edge.

Particular highlight was pear, Gorgonzola, burrata, walnut and @scherrit ‘s honey.

Super nom

It was great. Base was super fluffy under the crust, live yeast is the way to go. Kids love it too despite not being able to have cheese. Never any leftovers.

I've got a kamado bbq which is great for cooking pizza but unless there's a lot of people it's way too much faff. So I've Just ordered an ooni karu can't wait!

Fuck, that looks sick! Make sure you pick up the gas adapter for minimal faff. Gas is deffo the easiest and quickest way to fire out pizzas. Would love to see a comparison between that and the Ooni 3.

Yeah I was tempted by the gas only version they do now but really wanted the wood fire option. I've always got wood and charcoal in the shed for the bbq so it's great to not be restricted to using pellets. I've no idea what doing a pizza with the gas is like but I bought the adapter as I keep reading that it's a game changer.

Did Pizza for ourselves and the neighbours over the weekend, solid as ever, maybe best ever, Roccbox is a game changer (still).

Caramelised red onion, Blue cheese and Pine nuts.

Freezing pizza dough is a game changer. We’re in a first floor flat, so getting the ooni out is a bit of a pain. But firing out a quick pizza in the oven is still nae bad, way better than anything from the supermarket, and for about 30p in materials.

The second one was better, but it didn’t last long enough to be photographed!

Are you rolling it out and then freezing it or just freezing the dough balls?

Freeze the dough balls wrapped in cling film, treat as normal once defrosted. I usually wrap the balls as I divide them for simplicity. So if there’s any left after feeding everyone, they just get bunged in the freezer.
Also works if you make the whole pizza and then freeze for the full oven pizza experience.
