I bought a wood-fired Ooni pizza oven a few months back and we’ve been having a lot of fun making pizza. I started with store-bought dough from Trader Joe’s and Safeway, but quickly progressed to homemade dough, then to using genuine “Tipo 00” flour I bought on Amazon, then to using a 24 to 36 hour ferment of the dough. Last night we had neighbors over for pizza and I made my first homemade pizza sauce with “DOP” plum tomatoes bought on Amazon.

The pizza comes out of the 900 degree oven with a perfect crust - light and puffy on the outside and nicely done on the bottom and perfect “leopard spots” on the crust. My wife whipped up a bunch of toppings and we had a great time trying different combinations. I’ve made some great white sauce and pesto sauce for our pizzas which were both great.

It’s a great social thing to do with friends. I wish I had started this years ago!

Nice. Now try different toppings.

Artichoke hearts, baby spinach, tomato, Rotel, banana peppers, etc.

Alfredo is a food white sauce.

900 degrees — you’ve got a pretty special oven
