[Homemade] Ooni-fired - Pepperoni, Pepper Pizza, and BBQ air-fryed Chicken wings
Thanks for sharing, Fartpoopbuttturd. This looks great. I've only used mine for making Neapolitan pizzas but I'll have to try out other now.
Care to share the recipe/process? I always want to make pizza, but get hung up on the pizza dough process.
I do this recipe which works really well for the ooni! https://prohomecooks.com/blogs/recipes/a-master-class-in-neapolitan-pizza-making-full-breakdown 70% hydration is really good but a bit sticky, but if you can handle it it's super worth it. Use really strong flour and knead the dough until it's very elastic, it makes stretching much easier.
I've had my best results using the recipe at https://www.seriouseats.com/basic-pizza-dough-for-high-temperature-outdoor-pizza-ovens-5211302
No oil or sugar helps the dough not burn at high temps. I use a combo of 00 of wheat and king Arthur's pizza flour
I might need to leave the foodporn community. I am not even hungry and my mouth is watering.
Significant. The Ooni can reach temperatures well over 800 F, so you can get far better oven spring in your dough over a standard oven.
I also use mine for cast iron steak and it sears like nobody’s business.
The biggest difference is that the ooni seems to add more of browning/crispiness and rapid rise during the cook
Ive always wanted to get an ooni one day but im in an apartment so id imagine it would be hard to use.
What was the ooni learning curve like ? How long did it take to start getting the hang of it ?
Not an answer, but same. I've been using my cast iron as a pizza stone and I've never managed the same results. One of the first thing I do when I get a yard is get a pizza oven, but that may be a bit down the road.
I have a pizza steel and a 500 degree max oven setup and its generally been good for me but getting good charring on the top and bottom is still always a challenge. That being said, outside an ooni or similar, i think a steel pizza given me some of the best home pizza so far. Id recommend picking one up and trying it out.
I've been reading about these, like a lot of people I've been using a pizza stone for years
Maybe it's time to make the leap.
You will definitely burn your first 10 pizzas, but you get the hand of it. Trick is to start at high heat and then drop the flame down when you launch, gives you some time for the dough to set so you can move it around
Have you tried cooking the wings in there too? What's your cooking instructions for them in the oven?
