Please take time to read through this guide before you start or watch these videos :
How to set up and light the pizza oven (5mins)
How to shape a pizza (4mins)
How to launch a pizza (4mins)
- Take the dough out of the fridge at least an hour before cooking.
- Place table and Ooni with her back to the wind.
- Remove your scoop/ cap from the top of the chimney.
- Make sure the door is on and only take it off when adding or removing food.
- Fill your grate with 100% hardwood pellets to the level pictured overleaf.
- Place a natural firelighter at the lip of your grate.
- Light the firelighter and slide the grate back in to your burner using the hopper lid handle.
- Place the hopper lid back on top of the hopper.
- Once your starter pellets are fully alight, add small amounts of pellets gradually.
- Maintain a pellet level to approximately 3cm (1”) below the top of your hopper throughout your cook. Use the bolt on the hopper as a level guide.
- After 10-20 minutes your fire should be super hot and you can begin shaping your first pizza.
- Use plenty of semolina on the table and press the dough into a circle, stretching and rolling it to a about 10inches being careful not to tear the dough.
- Put a generous amount of semolina on the peel before laying the dough on top and adding your sauce and toppings (less is more!).
- Then give it a good shake and shimmy to make sure you can launch it into oven in one movement (add more semolina underneath or try blowing under it to loosen any stuck bits)
- GO FOR IT! Lift off the door and confidently shove pizza off the peel and onto the hot stone before replacing door.
- You will be amazed how quickly it cooks. It will need rotating after about 30-60secs. Use the peel to get under it and turn it round a bit with your hand before popping back in.
- Check your pellet level and get cracking on the second!
- When you’re ready for pud, cook the third base with nothing on before spreading the Nutella and sliced banana on top and giving it a very quick blast to finish – delicious!
- If any of the pizzas get holes or are a complete disaster, just fold it over and go for a calzone!
- Please try to keep the door closed while it is smoky, for your comfort and future guests.
- When you’re done, leave it to burn through any remaining pellets and allow it to cool naturally. This can take 60 minutes depending on ambient temperatures.
Hope it’s yummy!
