About the Cookbook

Outdoor pizza ovens bake up a crispy crust and deeply flavorful toppings in a matter of just a few minutes. That’s why millions of people all over the world are buying and using them. But if you are going to bake something that quickly, you need to have the perfect recipe before you bake: the super-fast cooking time leaves no room for error. Enter pizza-obsessed outdoor-oven wizard Jonathon Schuhrke, aka the Santa Barbara Baker, an official ambassador for the popular Ooni brand but also an expert on all the other makes and models of oven on the market.

With a background in the sciences, Jonathon is famous in the pizza-oven community for troubleshooting—and solving—common pizza-making challenges for outdoor-oven users: Why is the edge done but the center undone? Why did the toppings overcook and burn? What’s the ideal oven temperature for a perfectly baked pizza? You’ll get answers to all these questions and more.

Along with guidance that will show you how to get flawless results no matter what model of oven you have, you’ll find perfect-every-time recipes for the best pizzas—and calzones!—in the world. From new spins on classic pizza-parlor pies to incredibly satisfying modern artisan pizzas, learn to make delicious:

  • New York Style Cheese Pizza
  • Fire-Roasted Meatball Pizza
  • Roasted Broccoli and Pepperoni Pizza
  • A Summer Peach Pizza
  • Zucchini and Goat Cheese Pizza
  • Chorizo and Chimichurri Pizza
